fowls quotes

  •    Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you,That even Solomon in all hisglory was not arrayed like one of these.

And there came a voice to him, Rise,Peter; kill, and eat.
