J.m. BarrieThe reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.
About This Quote
The ability of birds to fly is one of the most amazing things on earth. Birds can achieve so much in their short lives. They can fly, they can migrate, they can communicate with one another, and they even help humans. They are so incredibly intelligent.
But how? How do they manage to be able to accomplish all of these things? Birds don’t have wings or claws like we do. They simply have faith that allows them to soar through the skies.
