Red Banner Orders

Famous quotes containing the words red, banner and/or orders:

    It’s red hot, mate. I hate to think of this sort of book getting in the wrong hands. As soon as I’ve finished this, I shall recommend they ban it.
    Tony Hancock (1924–1968)

    And before, with banner red,
    Through the blizzard snow unseen,
    All unharmed by hail of lead,
    With a step like snow so light,
    Showered in myriad pearls of snow.
    Crowned in wreath of roses white,
    Christ leads onward as they go.
    Alexander Blok (1880–1921)

    The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
