Faith without works is like a bird without wings; though she may hop with her companions on earth, yet she will never fly with them to heaven.

Francis Beaumont

Vision without execution is like a plane without wings, or Dumbo without ears, it just won't fly.

Bill Capodagli

As it is not possible to walk without feet or fly without wings, so it is impossible to attain the Kingdom of Heaven without the fulfillment of the commandments.

Theophan the Recluse

The heart, in its journey to Allah, Majestic is He, is like that of a bird; Love is its head, and fear and hope are its two wings. When the head and two wings are sound, the bird flies gracefully; if the head is severed, the bird dies; if the bird loses one of its wings, it then becomes a target for every hunter or predator.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya

A man without imagination is like a bird without wings.

Wilhelm Raabe

Emma Watson

A bird without wings and a man without art are both condemned to wander in low places; they can never soar up to those unrivalled heights.

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Only when your hearts are empty of the things of the mind, is there love. Then you will know what it is to love without separation, without distance, without time, without fear.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

When the rose is gone and the garden faded you will no longer hear the nightingale's song. The Beloved is all; the lover just a veil. The Beloved is living; the lover a dead thing. If love withholds its strengthening care, the lover is left like a bird without care, the lover is left like a bird without wings. How will I be awake and aware if the light of the Beloved is absent? Love wills that this Word be brought forth.

Rumi

Without feathers it isn't easy to fly: my wings have got no feathers. [Lat., Sine pennis volare hau facilest: meae alae pennas non habent.] [Alt., Flying without feathers is not easy; my wings have no feathers.]
