Virginia Battle Flag

Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or flag:

    In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it’s more dangerous to lose than to win.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    There’s an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.
    Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
