“Their whole livelihood had been taken away in one foul swoop,”
Zephaniah
“The idea here is we resolve hopefully in one fell swoop all or almost all of the longstanding issues that we have and sort of inhibited the alliance going forward.”
Richard Lawless
“In one fell swoop, nearly $33 billion is getting rotated out of equity into cash and I do believe a good portion of that will find its way back into Microsoft.”
David Hilal
“Two birds disputed about a kernel, when a third swooped down and carried it off”
African Proverb
“It looks like it's going to swoop down to eat you.”
Daina Dajevskis
“We were traveling along the highway, on a beautiful spring day ... and suddenly we saw a helicopter swoop down and anti-terror forces speed by. Suddenly we saw a car with security forces surrounding it. They even came out of the bushes.”
Yonatan Danino
“THERE are three types of approaches towards the Lord; the Eagle type, which swoops down on the target with a greedy swiftness and suddenness which, by its very impact, fails to secure the object coveted; the Monkey type, which flits hither and thither, from one to another, unable to decide which is tasty; and the Ant type which moves steadily, though slowly towards the object which it has decided is desirable. The ant does not hit the fruit hard and makes it fall away; it does not pluck all the fruits it seeks; it appropriates just as much as it can assimilate and no more. Do not fritter away the time allotted to you for sojourning on the earth in foolish foppery and fanciful foibles, which always keep you outdoors. When are you to walk indoors into the warmth and quiet of your own interior? Retire into solitude and silence now and then; experience the joy derivable only from them.”
Atharva Veda
