Not the cry, but the flight of the wild duck leads the flock to fly and follow.
(Chinese proverb)
There is one order of beauty which seems made to turn heads. It is a beauty like that of kittens, or very small downy ducks making gentle rippling noises with their soft bills, or babies just beginning to toddle.
(T.S. Eliot)
Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very, very long time.
(Chinese proverb)
Always behave like a duck –
keep calm and unruffled on the surface but paddle like the devil underneath.(Jacob Braude)
Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan’s egg.
(Hans Christian Andersen)
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.
(Douglas Adams)
