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

One hundred years from now, I expect the Tatas to be much bigger than it is now. More importantly, I hope the Group comes to be regarded as being the best in India.. best in the manner in which we operate, best in the products we deliver, and best in our value systems and ethics. Having said that, I hope that a hundred years from now we will spread our wings far beyond India.
Ratan Tata

Can one invent verbs? I want to tell you one: I sky you, so my wings extend so large to love you without measure.
Frida Kahlo
I lavish you, so my heart stretches boundlessly to adore you without limit.

When we accept our own wild beauty, it is put into perspective, and we are no longer poignantly aware of it anymore, but neither would we forsake it or disclaim it either. Does a wolf know how beautiful she is when she leaps? Does a feline know what beautiful shapes she makes when she sits? Is a bird awed by the sound it hears when it snaps open its wings? Learning from them, we just act in our own true way and do not draw back from or hide our natural beauty. Like the creatures, we just are, and it is right.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
5.
However softly we speak, God is so close to us that he can hear us; nor do we need wings to go in search of him, but merely to seek solitude and contemplate him within ourselves, without being surprised to find such a good Guest there.
John of the Cross

Traveling - it offers you a hundred roads to adventure, and gives your heart wings!
Ibn Battuta
Exploring - it provides you with a plethora of paths to excitement, and ignites your spirit!

They cripple the bird's wing, and then condemn it for not flying as fast as they.
Malcolm X
They hamper the bird's flight, and then censure it for not soaring as quickly as they.
8.
So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot.
George Orwell
"Much of progressive thought is akin to recklessly playing with hazardous materials without being aware of the potential danger."
9.
The birds are the saints, who fly to heaven on the wings of contemplation, who are so removed from the world that they have no business on earth. They do not labour, but by contemplation alone they already live in heaven.
Anthony of Padua
10.
Our arms start from the back because they were once wings.
Martha Graham
'Our arms originate in the rear as a reminder of our ancestral flight.'
11.
According to recognized aero technical tests, the bumblebee cannot fly because of the shape and weight of his body in relation to the total wing area. The bumblebee doesn't know this, so he goes ahead and flies anyway.
Igor Sikorsky

Listen to the long stillness:
New life is stirring
New dreams are on the wing
New hopes are being readied:
Humankind is fashioning a new heart
Humankind is forging a new mind
God is at work.
This is the season of Promise
Howard Thurman
13.
When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.
Mary Baker Eddy
When divine messengers come to us, we cannot detect the flapping of wings or the soft caress of a dove; however, we recognize their presence through the love that blossoms in our hearts.
14.
Take joy in who you are, we know our wings are flawed.
Andy Biersack
Embrace your imperfections and delight in your identity.

I am a butterfly drunk with life. I don't know where to soar, but I won't allow life to clip my beautiful wings.
Janusz Korczak
'I am a butterfly intoxicated with existence. I'm uncertain of my next flight, yet I refuse to have life restrict my glorious wings.'
16.
People ask me, what special is in my mentorship which has made Malala so bold and so courageous and so vocal and poised? I tell them, don't ask me what I did. Ask me what I did not do. I did not clip her wings, and that's all.
Ziauddin Yousafzai

I have found a certain type calls himself a Liberal...Now I always thought I was a Liberal. I came up terribly surprised one time when I found out that I was a Right-Wing Conservative Extremist, when I listened to everybody's point of view that I ever met, and then decided how I should feel. But this so-called new Liberal group, Jesus, they never listen to your point of view.
John Wayne

I'm capable of anything, my imagination can give me wings
Nas
I'm capable of anything, my creativity can take me to new heights.
19.
Let's just say I'm like a ship passing through storms, resting in ports now and then until it's time to continue the journey. I once told a friend, `I'm just looking for an angel with a broken wing - one that couldn't fly away.'
Jimmy Page
20.
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me, When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,- When he beats his bars and would be free; It is not a carol of joy or glee, But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core, But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings- I know why the caged bird sings!
Paul Laurence Dunbar
21.
What wings are to a bird, and sails to a ship, so is prayer to the soul.
Corrie Ten Boom
22.
Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
William Shakespeare
23.
Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise.
Ivan Pavlov
24.
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Horace Greeley
25.
We were all born with wings. In times of doubt: spread them.
Kevin Myers
26.
I will have nothing to do with a God who cares only occasionally. I need a God who is with us always, everywhere, in the deepest depths as well as the highest heights. It is when things go wrong, when good things do not happen, when our prayers seem to have been lost, that God is most present. We do not need the sheltering wings when things go smoothly. We are closest to God in the darkness, stumbling along blindly.
Madeleine L'Engle
27.
We mustn't fear to adopt the advanced management methods applied in capitalist countries. The very essence of socialism is the liberation and development of the productive systems. Socialism and market economy are not incompatible. We should be concerned about right-wing deviations, but most of all, we must be concerned about left-wing deviations.
Deng Xiaoping
28.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar” story is about hope. You, like the little caterpillar, will grow up, unfold your wings and fly off into the future
Eric Carle

Love without friendship is like a kite, aloft only when the winds are favorable. Friendship is what gives love its wings.
Sherry Thomas

The Ladybug wears no disguises. She is just what she advertises. A speckled spectacle of spring, A fashion statement on the wing.... A miniature orange kite. A tiny dot-to-dot delight.
J. Patrick Lewis

When the stormy winds of life threaten to knock you down, may you have the courage to spread your wings and fly!
Lance Wubbels

I'm no angel, but I've spread my wings a bit.
Mae West

Be content to progress in slow steps until you have legs to run and wings with which to fly.
Pio of Pietrelcina
35.
A youth with wings are the assurance of our nation's future. We must start to work right away and make progress so that; if one day Westerners leave their footprints on the moon, we shall place a Turkish one among those.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
36.
Is it conceivable that a newly emancipated people can soar to the heights of liberty, and, unlike Icarus, neither have its wings melt nor fall into an abyss? Such a marvel is inconceivable and without precedent. There is no reasonable probability to bolster our hopes.
Simon Bolivar
37.
The appetizer is just an excuse for an extra meal. Let's see, I will start with the eighty buffalo wings.
Jim Gaffigan
38.
Some people never find the right kind of love. You know, the kind that steals your breath away, like diving into snowmelt. The kind that jolts your heart, sets it beating apace, an anxious hiccuping of hummingbird wings
Ellen Hopkins

May cricket continue to flourish and spread its wings. The world can only be richer for it.
Donald Bradman
40.
Awakening is not a thing. It is not a goal, not a concept. It is not something to be attained. It is a metamorphosis. If the caterpillar thinks about the butterfly it is to become, saying ‘And then I shall have wings and antennae,’ there will never be a butterfly. The caterpillar must accept its own disappearance in its transformation. When the marvelous butterfly takes wing, nothing of the caterpillar remains.
Alejandro Jodorowsky
41.
I like to put wings on my mythical creatures, because I've always wanted to be able to fly! That's a dream of mine.
Brendon Urie

Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly.
Ivan Pavlov

Stand up! Keep your backs straight! Remember that this is where the wings grow.
Martha Graham
44.
Angels are always with you. You're never alone, especially in your time of need. Listen in stillness for our guidance, which comes upon wings to your heart, mind, and body. Our messages always speak of love.
Doreen Virtue
45.
I'd grown up fearing the lynch mobs of the Ku Klux Klan; as an adult I was starting to wonder if I'd been afraid of the wrong white people all along - where I was being pursued not by bigots in white robes, but by left-wing zealots draped in flowing sanctimony.
Clarence Thomas
46.
To go beyond samsara and nirvana, we will need
the two wings of emptiness and compassion.
From now on, let us use these two wings
to fly fearlessly into the sky of the life to come.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
47.
Up there on the screen, we can all fly. But down here on earth, we need to be each others wings.
Eddie Redmayne
48.
If we would reach a degree of civilization higher and grander than any yet attained, we should welcome to our ample continent all the nations, kindreds, tongues and peoples, and as fast as they learn our language and comprehend the duties of citizenship, we should incorporate them into the American body politic. The outspread wings of the American eagle are broad enough to shelter all who are likely to come.
Frederick Douglass
49.
Gnomes live ten times faster than humans. They're harder to see than a high-speed mouse. That's one reason why most humans hardly ever see them. The other is that humans are very good at not seeing things they know aren't there. And, since sensible humans know that there are no such things as people four inches high, a gnome who doesn't want to be seen probably won't be seen... Wings.
Terry Pratchett

She soars on her own wings.
Socrates
