Original Bear Flag

Famous quotes containing the words original, bear and/or flag:

    It is curious how instinctively one protects the image of oneself from idolatry or any other handling that could make it ridiculous, or too unlike the original to be believed any longer.

    To turn away a guest is poorest poverty;
    To bear with fools is mightiest might.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    Hath not the morning dawned with added light?
    And shall not evening call another star
    Out of the infinite regions of the night,
    To mark this day in Heaven? At last, we are
    A nation among nations; and the world
    Shall soon behold in many a distant port
    Another flag unfurled!
    Henry Timrod (1828–1867)
