Without prayer, without faith in the Almighty, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings.

John Lewis

No bird can fly without opening its wings, and no one can love without exposing their hearts.

Mark Nepo

A man without imagination is like a bird without wings.

Wilhelm Raabe

He was a foe without hate; a friend without treachery; a soldier without cruelty; a victor without oppression, and a victim without murmuring. He was a public officer without vices; a private citizen without wrong; a neighbor without reproach; a Christian without hypocrisy, and a man without guile. He was a Caesar, without his ambition; Frederick, without his tyranny; Napoleon, without his selfishness, and Washington, without his reward.

Benjamin Harvey Hill

A traveler without knowledge is a bird without wings.

Saadi

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

Genius is neither learned nor acquired. It is knowing without experience. It is risking without fear of failure. It is perception without touch. It is understanding without research. It is certainty without proof. It is ability without practice. It is invention without limitations. It is imagination without boundaries. It is creativity without constraints. It is...extraordinary intelligence!

Patricia Polacco

Man is a bird without wings and a bird is a man without sorrow.

Louis de Bernieres

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

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

A Leprecaun without a pot of gold is like a rose without perfume, a bird without a wing, or an inside without an outside.

James Stephens

Possibilities are like the wings of birds; they allow man to soar and to climb to the heavens. And facts are like the atmosphere against which those wings must beat, and without which the soaring bird will surely plummet back to earth.

Ivan Pavlov

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

Muscles without strength, friendship without trust, opinion without risk, change without aesthetics, age without values, food without nourishment, power without fairness, facts without rigor, degrees without erudition, militarism without fortitude, progress without civilization, complication without depth, fluency without content; these are the sins to remember.
