Famous quotes containing the word flag:

    “By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
    Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
    Here once the embattled farmers stood
    And fired the shot heard round the world.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
    Bowed with her fourscore years and ten;

    Bravest of all in Frederick town,
    She took up the flag the men hauled down;”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
