A bird in a nest is secure, but that is not why God gave it wings.

About This Quote

A bird in a nest is secure, but that is not why God gave it wings. This quote has a lot of meaning behind it, many are taking it as saying that birds are useless without their nests. Not true at all! Birds are born with the instinct to fly. It is not something they can learn or master, it is something they are born with.

Think about how the human race has progressed over the years. We have gone from cavemen to astronauts, from farmers to doctors, from beggars to millionaires. The only thing we cannot do is fly.

Even though we may have wings, we cannot fly without a nest.
