“The Eagle soars in the summit of Heaven, The Hunter with his dogs pursues his circuit..”

“That eagle's fate and mine are one,
Which on the shaft that made him die
Espied a feather of his own,
Wherewith he wont to soar so high.”

“The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven not man's.”

“There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud”

“Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.”

“As the eagle cannot soar upon a single wing, so the ministry is unprofitable and joyless which stints devotion.”

“Who gets the bird, the hunter or the dog?”

“Twas thine own genius gave the final blow,
And help'd to plant the wound that laid thee low:
So the struck eagle, stretch'd upon the plain,
No more through rolling clouds to soar again,
View'd his own feather on the fatal dart,
And wing'd the shaft that quiver'd in his heart.”

“Man's hope can paint a purple picture, can transform a soaring vulture into a noble eagle or a moaning dove.”

“Ordinary hypocrites pretend to be doves; political and literary hypocrites pretend to be eagles. But don't be disconcerted by their aquiline appearance. They are not eagles, but rats or dogs.”
