Man can now fly in the air like a bird, swim under the ocean like a fish, he can burrow into the ground like a mole. Now if only he could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise.

Man is now able to fly through the air like a bird, he is able to swim under the sea like a fish, he is able burrow beneath the ground like a mole. Now if only he could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise.

We don't need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could.

I felt I was getting as near to paradise on this earth as any man could ever get,

As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible.

The bird thinks it a favor to give the fish a lift in the air
