...when you are convinced that all the exits are blocked, either you take to believing in miracles or you stand still like the hummingbird. The miracle is that the honey is always there, right under your nose, only you were too busy searching elsewhere to realize it. The worst is not death but being blind, blind to the fact that everything about life is in the nature of the miraculous.

Henry Miller

I'm believing that miracles and blessings still exist.

Stevie Wonder

By the way, did you fellows know that a hummingbird weighs as much as a quarter? Do you think a hummingbird also weighs the same as two dimes and a nickel? But then she asked a question of her own: How do they weigh a hummingbird?

Calvin Trillin

Miracles are of all sizes. And if you start believing in little miracles, you can work up to the bigger ones.

Norman Vincent Peale

We’re constantly being bombarded by problems that we face and sometimes we can get completely overwhelmed. [But] we should always feel like a hummingbird. I may feel insignificant, but I don’t want to be like the other animals watching the planet go down the drain. I’ll be a hummingbird, I’ll do the best I can.

Wangari Maathai

The time for miracles has either passed or not come yet, besides, miracles, genuine miracles, whatever people say, are not such a good idea, if it means destroying the very order of things in order to improve them.

Jose Saramago

Miracles are supposed to point us to Him, but we can get to God without miracles. It is God himself we should long for rather than for the miracles that point to him. To get caught up in wanting miracles is a bit like thinking the destination of a road trip is the highway you're supposed to take.

Eric Metaxas

I'd written a lot of songs with hummingbirds in them. None of them ever came to anything, but I did write a few lines last month. It went like this: 'Listen to the hummingbird whose wings you cannot see. Listen to the hummingbird, don't listen to me'.

Leonard Cohen

You can either take action, or you can hang back and hope for a miracle. Miracles are great, but they are so unpredictable.

Peter Drucker

I've seen many miracles take place in people's lives. Financial miracles, miracles of physical healing, mental healing, healing of relationships.

Michael Beckwith

Don't stop believing in miracles.

Susan Beth Pfeffer

You are always wanting miracles; but God sows miracles by handfuls under your feet, and yet you still have people who deny their existence.

Allan Kardec

All I can do is stand still- I feel like if I just stand still, I can stop it from being true, I can pretend that everything is all right.

Veronica Roth

One can believe God capable of anything without believing that he did everything anybody may say he did. One can believe in the possibility of miracles without believing that every reported miracle must in fact have happened.
