Angels

Speak of angels and you hear their wings.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

I saw something white flying in the sky, so that I came to believe in angels.

Angels watch from above as men fight amongst themselves.

Speak of angels, and you will hear their wings.

Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.

Gabriel is only one of the angels of God.

Angels have harps, devils have bodhráns.

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.

Good-night, sweet prince; and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
