“The world is grown so bad, that wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch.Since every Jack became a gentleman,There's many a gentle person made a Jack.”
William Shakespeare
“He who shall hurt the little wren / Shall never be beloved by men.”
William Blake
“Die for adultery! No: The wren goes to't, and the small gilded fly does lecher in my sight”
“I was never beautiful like Miss Hayworth or Miss Lamarr. I was known as the little brown wren. Who'd want to get me at the end of the picture?”
Bette Davis
“A wren in the hand is better than a crane to be caught.”
Irish Proverb
“You cannot fly like an eagle with wings of a wren.”
William James
“Do let him read the papers. But not while you accusingly tiptoe around the room, or perch much like a silent bird of prey on the edge of your most uncomfortable chair. (He will read them anyway, and he should read them, so let him choose his own good time.) Don't make a big exit. Just go. But kiss him quickly, before you go, otherwise he might think you are angry; he is used to suspecting he is doing something wrong.”
Marlene Dietrich
