Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or flag:

    “‘Tis certain, greatness, once fallen out with fortune,
    Must fall out with men too. What the declined is,
    He shall as soon read in the eyes of others
    As feel in his own fall.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “There’s an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.”
    —Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
