 Fools are ever ready to curse and anathematize, often to the great anxiety of ignorant and timid souls who live in dread of the fulfillment of their maledictions. But as the sparrow and swallow cleave the air and pass quickly from view, so shall it be with a curse uttered without cause. (Proverbs Twenty-Six by H.A. Ironside)

As the sparrow for flitting about, as the swallow for flying, so a curse undeserved shall not come.
