Famous quotes containing the words national, flag and/or days:

    The progress
    Is permanent like the preordained bulk
    Of the First National Bank
    Like fish sauce, but agreeable.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    My dream is that as the years go by and the world knows more and more of America, it ... will turn to America for those moral inspirations that lie at the basis of all freedom ... that America will come into the full light of the day when all shall know that she puts human rights above all other rights, and that her flag is the flag not only of America but of humanity.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    There lived a sage in days of yore,
    And he a handsome pigtail wore;
    But wondered much, and sorrowed more,
    Because it hung behind him.
    Adelbert Von Chamisso (1781–1838)
