Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or cross:

    iris and lilac, birds
    birds, yellow flowers
    white flowers, the Diesel
    does not let up dragging
    the plow
    Charles Olson (1910–1970)

    Although its growth may seem to have been slow, it is to be remembered that it is not a shrub, or plant, to shoot up in the summer and wither in the frosts. The Red Cross is a part of us—it has come to stay—and like the sturdy oak, its spreading branches shall yet encompass and shelter the relief of the nation.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)
