At twenty a man is a peacock, at thirty a lion, at forty a camel, at fifty a serpent, at sixty a dog, at seventy an ape, at eighty a nothing at all.
Baltasar Gracian
Genius and virtue are to be more often found clothed in gray than in peacock bright.
Van Wyck Brooks
People are crying up the rich and variegated plumage of the peacock, and he is himself blushing at the sight of his ugly feet.
Sa'Di
To Paradise, the Arabs say, Satan could never find the way Until the peacock led him in.
Charles Godfrey Leland
