Be content to progress in slow steps until you have legs to run and wings with which to fly.

Pio of Pietrelcina

Would a fly without wings be called a walk?

George Carlin

Well, when I walk behind short people I feel like I'm going to fall over because I start taking these little steps, and I can't take little steps.

Venus Williams

The human race is like a bird and it needs both wings to be able to fly. And, at the moment, one of is wings is clipped an we're never going to be able to fly as high.

Emma Watson

Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can fly.

Napoleon Bonaparte

I was shown a fledgling learning to fly. It's first efforts were very feeble. But as it used its wings more and more, they became stronger until it found the freedom of flight and was able to soar to great heights and fly great distance without any effort. I heard the words: Faith comes with practice. Live by faith until it becomes rocklike unshakable, and find the true freedom of the spirit.

Eileen Caddy

If you have feet, walk! If you have wings, fly! Whatever you have, use them! Don't let them to rust!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Claude Nicollier

Gregory Hines

In this world you've a soul for a compass And a heart for a pair of wings There's a star on the far horizon Rising bright in an azure sky For the rest of the time that you're given Why walk when you can fly?

Mary Chapin Carpenter

Most birds were created to fly. Being grounded for them is a limitation within their ability to fly, not the other way around. You, on the other hand, were created to be loved. So for you to live as if you were unloved is a limitation, not the other way around. Living unloved is like clipping a bird’s wings and removing its ability to fly. Not something I want for you. Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly. And if left unresolved for very long, you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place.

William P. Young

Utopia is on the horizon. I move two steps closer; it moves two steps further away. I walk another ten steps and the horizon runs ten steps further away. As much as I may walk, I'll never reach it. So what's the point of utopia? The point is this: to keep walking.

Eduardo Galeano

Every nation needs two wings to fly. Any bird torn at the wings will never soar the skies.

Suzy Kassem

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

Tortoise steps, slow steps, four steps like a tank with a tail dragging in the sand. Tortoise steps, land based, land locked, dusty like the desert tortoise herself, fenced in, a prisoner on her own reservation -- teaching us the slow art of revolutionary patience.
