Original Bear Flag

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

    It is conventional to call “monster” any blending of dissonant elements.... I call “monster” every original inexhaustible beauty.
    Alfred Jarry (1873–1907)

    The night discharged of all care
    Where wine may bear no sovereignty;
    The chaste wife wise, without debate;
    Such sleeps as may beguile the night;
    Contented with thine own estate;
    Neither wish death, nor fear his might.
    Martial (Marcus Valerius Martialus)

    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)
