Bill Bradley

As long as you keep a person down,
some part of you has to be down there to hold him down,
so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might.

Marian Anderson

People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change.
They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in.
Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters;
they will not allow life's circumstances to push them down and hold them under.

Charles R. Swindoll

Sensing the need and determining it is time to change, Opening the mind and the heart to change. Ameliorate the Grief. Assimilating the loss. Reconcile the loss. Releasing the pain. Recognizing you are forever transformed.

And there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he for ever flies within the gorge, that gorge is in the mountains; so that even in his lowest swoop the mountain eagle is still higher than other birds upon the plain, even though they soar.

Herman Melville

Dragons will wander
about the waste places,
and the phoenix will soar
from her nest of fire
into the air.

...and over our heads
will float the bluebird,
singing of beautiful and 
impossible things,
of things that are lovely
and that never happened,
of things that are not
and that should be.

Oscar Wilde

We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere;
we creep upon the soil;
we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds.
There can be but one explanation of this fact.
We are passing from the animal into a higher form,
and the drama of this planet is in its second act.

W. Winwood Reade

A fierce unrest seethes at the core,
Of all existing things:,
It was the eager wish to soar,
That gave the gods their wings.

Don Marquis

We become like our environment, and our environment becomes like us.
Everything around us molds us and shapes us.
So it is important to choose our environment with care: one that is positive,
one that lifts us up and gives us wings to soar.

I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly

R. Kelly

Reach for the light
You might touch the sky
Stand on the mountaintop and see yourself flying
Reach for the light to capture a star
Come out of the darkness and find out who you are
