• A flock of sheep near the airport or a high voltage generator beside the orchard: these combinations open up my life like a wound, but they also heal it. That's why my feelings always come in twos.

  Yehuda Amichai

• Fear not little flock; do good; let earth and hell combine against you, for if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail. . .Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.

• As we mature personally, as our families mature, and as our churches mature, we need the doctrine of sin more, not less; and we need to keep growing in rightly understanding and applying this doctrine. Be assured that this is no less true if you're a pastor or teacher or ministry worker. There's no pastoral privilege in relation to sin. There's no ministry exemption from the opposition of the flesh. There's only a heightened responsibility to oppose sin and to weaken the flesh, as an example to the flock.

• It's true that the young who now flock to script writing, or producing and directing, to fulfill the demands of these new devices would, in an earlier period, have been submitting to magazines and working on their first novels. But even in the midst of all these "digital products," the wonder of it is that there are still so many young writers who continue to believe in the venerable print novel as the corridor to fame and fortune.

• I believe that every Christian ought to be joined to some visible church; that is his
  plain duty, according to the Scriptures. God’s people are not dogs, else they might go
  about one by one; but they are sheep, and therefore they should be in flocks.

  Charles Spurgeon

• Nuestro Señor tiene muchos hijos débiles en su familia, muchos alumnos torpes en su escuela, muchos soldados novatos en su ejército, muchas ovejas cojas en su rebaño. Pero a todos los soporta y a ninguno desecha. Dichoso el cristiano que ha aprendido a hacer lo mismo con sus hermanos.

• We have no reason to be discouraged and cast down if the religion we profess is not popular and few agree with us. We must remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in this passage: ‘The gate is narrow’. Repentance, and faith in Christ, and holiness of life, have never been fashionable. The true flock of Christ has always been small. It must not move us to find that we are reckoned singular, and peculiar, and bigoted, and narrow minded. This is the ‘narrow way’. Surely it is better to enter into eternal life with a few, than to go to ‘destruction’ with a great company

• As I was walking in the fields, the thought came over me with almost overwhelming power, that every one of my flock must soon be in heaven or hell. Oh how I wished that I had a tongue like thunder, that I might make all hear; or that I had a frame like iron, that I might visit every one and say, Escape for thy life! Ah sinner! You little know how I fear that you will lay the blame of your damnation at my door.

• Pastoring the flock with words. I love that. We always have a prayer time in the middle of our service. We take about eight or ten minutes before I preach, after we've sung, and invite people to come forward for prayer. That's a tender moment to me. I don't preach much in that, but I like to speak to the people.

• La diosa Artemisa tenía un hermano gemelo, Apolo, el polifacético dios del Sol. Él era su homólogo masculino: su dominio era la ciudad, el de ella el desierto; el de él era el sol, el de ella la luna; el de él los rebaños domesticados, el de ella los animales salvajes e indómitos; él era el dios de la música, ella la inspiración de las danzas redondas en las montañas.

• We waded so gently and reverently, or we pulled together so smoothly, that the fishes of thought were not scared from the stream, nor feared any angler on the bank, but came and went grandly, like the clouds which came and went on the western sky, and the mother-o'-pearl flocks which sometimes form and dissolve there.

• Mientras la niebla se acercaba a tierra firme, oí sobrevolar una bandada de pájaros. Sonaban como el crujido de un vestido, un vestido que se desabrocha y cae al suelo. La niebla se desprendía como el pelo. En los acantilados de la playa, grandes colonias de datura -hierba carmesí-, con sus flores blancas en forma de trompeta, parecían bandas de música.

• I like to think about society as being a flock of birds: There seems to be a common consciousness in different time periods, and the new common consciousness reacts to the old standards.

• Nature places a simple constraint on those who leave the flock to go their own way: they get eaten. In society it's a bit more complicated. Nonetheless the admonition stands: avoiding the unknown has considerable survival value. Society, nature, and artmaking tend to produce guarded creatures.

• ¿Por qué la Naturaleza derramó sus bondades
  Con una mano tan llena e inquebrantable,
  Cubriendo la tierra de olores, frutos, rebaños,
  llenando los mares de innumerables engendros,
  Pero todo para complacer y saciar el gusto curioso?

• Cuando un poeta menciona la primavera, sabemos que los céfiros están a punto de susurrar, que las arboledas van a recobrar su verdor, que los pardillos van a gorjear sus notas de amor, y que los rebaños y manadas van a corretear por los valles pintados de flores: sin embargo, ¿quién hay tan insensible a las bellezas de la naturaleza, tan poco encantado con la renovación del mundo, que no sienta su corazón conmovido ante la mención de la primavera?

• Así que los desastres no vienen solos; Pero como si observaran y esperaran, Escaneando los movimientos de los demás, Cuando el primero desciende, los otros Siguen, siguen, reuniéndose en bandadas Alrededor de su víctima, enferma y herida, Primero una sombra, luego un dolor, Hasta que el aire se oscurece con angustia.

• el Estado sólo aspira a inculcar en su público aquellas cualidades por las que se obedecen sus demandas y se llena su erario. Su mayor logro es la reducción de la humanidad a un mecanismo de relojería. En su atmósfera, todas aquellas libertades más finas y delicadas, que requieren tratamiento y espaciosa expansión, inevitablemente se secan y perecen. El Estado requiere una máquina de pagar impuestos en la que no haya ningún problema, un erario público en el que nunca haya déficit, y un público monótono, obediente, incoloro, sin espíritu, que se mueva humildemente como un rebaño de ovejas a lo largo de una carretera recta entre dos muros.

• I don't know how to tell it--but ef such a thing could be
  As the angels wantin' boardin', and they'd call around on me--

  When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock.

• Now, the whole world hears
  Or shall hear,--surely shall hear, at the last,
  Though men delay, and doubt, and faint, and fail,--
  That promise faithful:--"Fear not, little flock!
  It is your Father's will and joy, to give
  To you, the Kingdom"!
