I said, O that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. ~ Psalm 55:6
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. ~Psalm 91:4
Birds fear the sight of a hawk, and those who practice humility fear the sound of argument. ~ St. John Climacus
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… Faith is the healer of the soul, flying on the wings of hope and warmed by love. ~ St. Theophan the Recluse
