Oh human creatures, born to soar aloft,
Why fall ye thus before a little wind?

¡Oh raza humana, nacida para remontar vuelo!, ¿por qué el menor soplo de viento te hace caer?

Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.

The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly.

You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?” — Rumi

When one tries to rise above Nature one is liable to fall below it. The highest type of man may revert to the animal if he leaves the straight road of destiny.

Lay not the blame on me, O sailor, but on the winds. By nature I am as calm and safe as the land itself, but the winds fall upon me with their gusts and gales, and lash me into a fury that is not natural to me.

I will fly I am born with potential I am born with goodness and trust I am born with ideas and dreams I am born with greatness I am born with confidence I am born with wings So, I am not meant for crawling, I have wings, I will fly I will fly and fly.

You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly. — Rumi

What are the children of men, but as leaves that drop at the wind's breath?

Don’t let the risk of falling keep you from flying.

Thou wast not born for death, immortal bird!

If birth was being thrown energetically up into the air, we aged as we rose. At the height of our ascent we were middle-aged and then we fell for the rest of our lives, the whole second half. Falling might take just as long, but it was nothing like rising. The whole time you were rising you could not imagine what came next in your particular, unique journey; you could not see around the corner. Whereas falling ended the same way for everyone.

When everything seem to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it ....
