Pledge Allegiance

Famous quotes containing the words pledge and/or allegiance:

    For, truly speaking, whoever provokes me to a good act or thought has given me a pledge of his fidelity to virtue,—he has come under the bonds to adhere to that cause to which we are jointly attached.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And then I stole all courtesy from heaven,
    And dressed myself in such humility
    That I did pluck allegiance from men’s hearts,
    Loud shouts and salutations from their mouths,
    Even in the presence of the crowned King.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
