A Little Bird Told Me

"I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg." James M. Barrie

"Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings." Victor Hugo


"It's best to have failure happen early in life. It wakes up the Phoenix bird in you so you rise from the ashes." Anne Baxter

Sitting in the park an early spring morning this little guy landed next to me.

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will." Charlotte Bronte

"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
and never stops at all."
Emily Dickenson


"Like bones to the human body, the axle to the wheel, the wing to the bird, and the air to the wing, so is liberty the essence of life. Whatever is done without it is imperfect." Jose Marti


"The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them." Victor Hugo
