Famous quotes containing the word sparrows:

    “It seemed as if the breezes brought him,
    It seemed as if the sparrows taught him,
    As if by secret sign he knew
    Where in far fields the orchids grew.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Matthew 10:29.

    “How coyote got his
    ratty old fur coat
    bits of old fur
    the sparrows stuck on him
    with dabs of pitch.
    That was after he lost his proud original one in a poker game.”
    —Leslie Marmon Silko (b. 1948)
