Famous quotes containing the words star, spangled and/or banner:
“It is the star to every wandring bark,
Whose worths unknown, although his height be taken.
Loves not Times fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickles compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“The Spacious Firmament on high,
With all the blue Ethereal Sky,
And spangled Heavns, a Shining Frame,
Their great Original proclaim:
Th unwearied Sun, from day to day,
Does his Creators Powr display,
And publishes to every Land
The Work of an Almighty Hand.”
—Joseph Addison (16721719)
“Well gentlemen, this is it. This is what weve been waiting for. Tonight your target is Tokyo. And youre gonna play em the Star Spangled Banner with two-ton bombs. All youve got to do is to remember what youve learned and follow your squadron leaders. Theyll get you in, and theyll get you out. Any questions? All right thats all. Good luck to you. Give em hell.”
—Dudley Nichols (18951960)
