Bishop R. S. Foster Quote

“Tell me why the caged bird flutters against its prison bars, and I will tell you why the soul sickens of earthliness. The bird has wings, and wings were made to cleave the air, and soar in freedom in the sun. The soul is immortal—it cannot feed upon husks.”

— Bishop R. S. Foster
