The Eagles and the critics were not the best of friends. (Don Henley)
The Eagles ended on a rather abrupt note, although in retrospect I realize now that it had been ending for quite some time. View quote
Don Henley
Eagles are seagulls with a good hairdo. View quote
Douglas Coupland
How blinde is pride! what eagles we are still In matters that belong to other men, What beetles in our own! View quote
George Chapman
You are the weakest and the least, and the last to be redeemed.... You will be freed, when man will rise above the earthly, when human worms will turn into human eagles. View quote
Isaac Leib Peretz
Because I am a red man. If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man he would have made me so in the first place. He put in your heart certain wishes and plans; in my heart he put other and different desires. Each man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit. It is not necessary, that eagles should be crows. View quote
Sitting Bull
It is not necessary for eagles to be crows. View quote
Sitting Bull
Do not smile at my advice -- the advice of a dreamer who warns you against Kantians, Fichteans, and philosophers of nature. Do not smile at the visionary who anticipates the same revolution in the realm of the visible as has taken place in the spiritual. Thought precedes action as lightning precedes thunder. German thunder is of true Germanic character; it is not very nimble, but rumbles along ponderously. Yet, it will come and when you hear a crashing such as never before has been heard in the world's history, then you know that the German thunderbolt has fallen at last. At that uproar the eagles of the air will drop dead, and lions in the remotest deserts of Africa will hide in their royal dens. A play will be performed in Germany which will make the French Revolution look like an innocent idyll. View quote
Heinrich Heine
Eagles had made a realist of him. He believed in facts, and in altering your viewpoint to fit them, no matter what they were. That was the way you survived and stayed sane; it was hard, it meant sacrifices-he had already lost many things that he valued deeply-but it was the only way. View quote
Damon Knight
The country is so beautiful, where so many heroes had devoted their lives into it. Sorry that the Qin Emperor or the Han Wu Emperor lacks a sense for literacy; while the founders of the Tang and Song dynasties came short in style. The great man, Genghis Khan, only knew how to shoot eagles with an arrow. The past is past. To see real heroes, look around you. View quote
Mao Zedong
Eagles come in all shapes and sizes, but you will recognize them chiefly by their attitudes. (E. F. Schumacher)
It has been a long road from that first snowy day in New Hampshire to this crowded convention city. Now begins another long journey, taking me into your cities and homes all over America. Give me your help, your hand, your voice, your vote. Recall with me the words of Isaiah: "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary." As we face the coming challenge, we too, shall wait upon the Lord, and ask that he renew our strength. Then shall we be equal to the test. Then we shall not be weary. And then we shall prevail.

John F. Kennedy
When I wrote 'Silver Linings,' I thought I was writing a book about the Philadelphia Eagles and male bonding, but when the book came out, it was surprising to me that the mental health community embraced it. View quote
Matthew Quick
Eagles rarely fail to catch their prey. They usually kill it quickly by breaking its neck with their powerful claws. View quote
Stephen Kinzer
The capture, taming, training and keeping of eagles is highly ritualized. Most of the birds, which have a life span of about 40 years, are caught when very young - either snatched from a nest or trapped in a baited net. View quote
Stephen Kinzer
Not all eagles can be trained, but those who take to life with a master display intense loyalty. Although they are not tethered, they always return after killing their prey. View quote
Stephen Kinzer
If you want to fly with eagles, stop swimming with ducks. View quote
T. Harv Eker
The Eagles and the Captain and Tennille ruled the airwaves, and we were the answer to it. View quote
Joey Ramone
I've got my old favorites like The Eagles and Bon Jovi. View quote
Niall Horan
You know, I think I did originally have some sort of idea of maybe a Where Eagles Dare kind of mission against impossible odds, but it really sort of died before I had a chance to really go anywhere with it, and then just doing the book was out of the question. View quote
Garth Ennis
We're definitely a hodgepodge of influences. Mine, most heavily, would be Southern rock - the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and stuff like that. Hillary is more from the country side - her mom is Linda Davis, a country singer. Dave, he's a big fan of the Eagles and like that. (Charles Kelley)
I enjoy my solo career because I get to play smaller places like clubs and theaters, and the interaction with the audience is much higher quality. It also sounds better than a baseball stadium. Everybody has a good seat, and I don't have to play a specific part like I do in the Eagles. View quote
Joe Walsh
(after listening to people gripe and complain just smile and remember) Crows can't hang with eagles. View quote
Joel Osteen
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. View quote
John Benfield
When I decided to run for Congress, I saw it as an opportunity to serve the South Jersey community that had become my home after signing to play for the Philadelphia Eagles. I didn't choose public service out of political ambition or a desire for power, and never once thought of making a career of it. View quote
