Famous quotes containing the words flag, flying and/or days:

    “Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow—red, yellow, brown, black and white—and we’re all precious in God’s sight.”
    —Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)

    “And more I may not write of, for they that cleave
    The waters of sleep can make a chattering tongue
    Heavy like stone, their wisdom being half silence.
    How shall I name you, immortal, mild, proud shadows?
    I only know that all we know comes from you,
    And that you come from Eden on flying feet.
    ”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Love is cheap. You can buy it anywhere. Lives are cheap. It’s money that’s dear. You have to work days and sit up nights thinking how to make money.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
