Famous quotes containing the words flag and/or days:

    Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    Nights of storm, days of mist, without end;
    Sad days when the sun
    Shone in vain: old griefs and griefs
    Not yet begun.
    Edward Thomas (1878–1917)
