“For Time will teach thee soon the truth,
There are no birds in last year's nest!”

“Success is full of promise till men get it; and then it is last year's nest from which the bird has flown.”

“Heavenly bodies are nests of invisible birds.”

“The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.”

“Thanks for this day, for all birds safe in their nests, for whatever this is, for life.”

“A bird is safe in its nest - but that is not what its wings are made for.”

“Master, go on, and I will follow thee
To the last gasp with truth and loyalty.”

“Wait, thou child of hope, for Time shall teach thee all things.”

“You are sweet, O Love, dear Love,
You are soft as the nesting dove.
Come to my heart and bring it rest
As the bird flies home to its welcome nest.”

“In missional churches, the baby birds have been pushed out of the nest and are learning to fly for themselves.”
