Flag committee chairman Miles did not agree with that sentiment. He opposed adoption of this design and wrote:"There is no propriety in retaining the ensign of a government which, in the opinion of the States composing this Confederacy, had become so oppressive and injurious to their interests as to require their separation from it.It is idle to talk of 'keeping' the flag of the United States when we have voluntarily seceded from them. ~ Clint Johnson
William Porcher Miles quotes by Clint Johnson
The busy bee has no time for sorrow. The hours of folly are measur'd by the clock, but of wisdom: no ~ William Blake
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Blake
In these two things the greatness of man consists, to have God dwelling in us as to impart His character to us, and to have Him dwelling in us, that we recognize His presence, and know that we are His, and He is ours. The one is salvation; the other, the assurance of it. ~ Frederick William Robertson
William Porcher Miles quotes by Frederick William Robertson
There's little of the melancholy element in her, my lord: she is never sad but when she sleeps; and not ever sad then; for I have heard my daughter say, she hath often dreamt of unhappiness, and waked herself with laughing. ~ William Shakespeare
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Shakespeare
We want God to be strong, so that we can be weak. But He wants to be weak so that we can be strong. ~ William Sloane Coffin
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Sloane Coffin
Loss, once it's become a certainty, is like a rock you hold in your hand. It has weight and dimension and texture. It's solid and can be assessed and dealt with. You can use it to beat yourself or you can throw it away. ~ William Kent Krueger
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Kent Krueger
Nature, the great Moloch, which exacts a frightful tax of human blood, sparing neither young nor old; taking the child from the cradle, the mother from her babe, and the father from the family. ~ William Osler
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Osler
You'll never miss the water 'til the well runs dry. ~ William Christopher Handy

My heart is in this work, for it is not a question of 'Will we win' or 'Will we lose.' We must win, and that is all there is to it. ~ William Kalush
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Kalush
Being aggressive is a lot less risky in the end. Are you going to eat your lunch, or have your lunch eaten for you. ~ William Esrey
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Esrey
When I was in middle school, I always did well in school, but teachers either loved me or absolutely hated me. ~ Miles Teller
William Porcher Miles quotes by Miles Teller
history's greatest liquidator of Jews, the thick-witted Heinrich Himmler, was a chicken farmer. ~ William Styron
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Styron
I detest limitations of any kind, and intend to establish my ass some place where I am a virgin on the police blotter. ~ William S. Burroughs
William Porcher Miles quotes by William S. Burroughs
A good heart is the sun and the moon; or, rather, the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes. ~ William Shakespeare
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Shakespeare
There is a stream, a succession of states, or waves, or fields (or whatever you please to call them), of knowledge, of feeling, of desire, of deliberation, etc., that constantly pass and repass, and that constitute our inner life. ~ William James
William Porcher Miles quotes by William James
We don't deserve our job. Period. ~ Miles Anthony Smith
William Porcher Miles quotes by Miles Anthony Smith
In the application an eye must be had rather to the duty which we owe, and ought to be performed by us to others, than to that which is due to us, and others ought to perform for us. ~ William Gouge
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Gouge
Seek happy nights to happy days.W ~ William Shakespeare
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Shakespeare
It does not pay to be friendly with officers, they take advantage of you. ~ William Overgard
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Overgard
Send it and end it, kid."
Court would fire, sending a boat-tail round across fields and lakes, over cabins and farms, and, more often than not, much more often than not, he'd hit his target, thereby ending the "threat."
He'd send it, and he'd end it.
He thought back to those days, the fundamentals of the craft, and he fought again to remain calm. He forced himself not to feel any emotion at all. Any increase in heart rate, fluctuation in breathing, new sweating on his skin that could cause reflex muscle contractions. Anything different with his body at the moment he fired would affect his shot. It could send the round out of the barrel one hundredth of an inch from where he wanted the muzzle positioned for firing, but translated out across 1.81 miles, the round would end up several feet off target. ~ Mark Greaney
William Porcher Miles quotes by Mark Greaney
So much of the theatrical can leave you with a yearning for the real. The real is suddenly and starkly there right at the city's edge and extends for thousands of square miles of desert and mountain and canyon with which human beings can do almost nothing profitable other than to leave it be and just look at it. ~ Timothy O'Grady
William Porcher Miles quotes by Timothy O'Grady
Pym looked at the bugs, glanced at the sleeve of his proud uniform, stared again at the deadly parody of his insignia the creatures now bore, and shot Miles a look of heartbreaking despair, a silent cry which Miles had no trouble interpreting as, Please, m'lord, please, can we take him out and kill him now? ~ Lois McMaster Bujold
William Porcher Miles quotes by Lois McMaster Bujold
When I heard the royal family wanted to have me perform in celebration of Prince William's marriage, I knew I had to give them a little something. 'Wet' is the perfect anthem for Prince William or any playa to get the club smokin'. ~ Snoop Dogg
William Porcher Miles quotes by Snoop Dogg
It is the very error of the moon; She comes more nearer earth than she was wont, And makes men mad. ~ William Shakespeare
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Shakespeare
without any assistance or guidance from you
i have loved you assiduously for 8 months 2 wks & a day

so i cd drive 27 1/2 miles cross the bay before i go to work
charmin charmin
but you are of no assistance
i want you to know
this waz an experiment
to see how selifsh i cd be
if i wd really carry on to snare a possible lover
if i waz capable of debasin my self for the love of another
if i cd stand not being wanted
when i wanted to be wanted
& i cannot

with no further assistance & no guidance from you
i am endin this affair

this note is attached to a plant
i've been waterin since the day i met you
you may water it
yr damn self ~ Ntozake Shange
William Porcher Miles quotes by Ntozake Shange
All is vanity, look you; and so the preacher is vanity too. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
I find that when you see somebody in the tabloids all the time, you have no desire to see them in movies. ~ Seann William Scott
William Porcher Miles quotes by Seann William Scott
Twenty miles on, we have spotted a roadside sign: 'CHAINSAW CARVED MUSHROOMS'. Troubles promptly forgotten, Stuart falls to gawping at the road ahead. What could it all be about? 'As one victim to another,' his body language seems to marvel, 'What's a mushroom done to deserve that kind of abuse?' Not even in the worst days of street-fighting did he ever experience ill-treatment on this scale. ~ Alexander Masters
William Porcher Miles quotes by Alexander Masters
What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride! ~ William Blake
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Blake
Evermore thanks, the exchequer of the poor ~ William Shakespeare
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Shakespeare
Reading, like prayer, remains one of our few private acts ~ William Jovanovich
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Jovanovich
There are those much more rare people who never lose their curiosity, their almost childlike wonder at the world; those people who continue to learn and to grow intellectually until the day they die. And these usually are the people who make contributions, who leave some part of the world a little better off than it was before they entered it. ~ William Herbert Sheldon
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Herbert Sheldon
Today further EU targeted sanctions on Syria come into force. The message is clear and unambiguous: those responsible for the repression will be singled out and held accountable. ~ William Hague
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Hague
Rincewind had always been happy to think of himself as a racist. The One Hundred Meters, the Mile, the Marathon
he'd run them all. ~ Terry Pratchett
William Porcher Miles quotes by Terry Pratchett
Do something everyday for no other reason than you would rather not do it, so that when the hour of dire need draws nigh, it may find you not unnerved and untrained to stand the test. ~ William James
William Porcher Miles quotes by William James
To write a genuine familiar or truly English style, is to write as any one would speak in common conversation who had a thorough command and choice of words, or who could discourse with ease, force, and perspicuity, setting aside all pedantic and oratorical flourishes. ~ William Hazlitt
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Hazlitt
Simplicate, and add lightness! ~ William Bushnell Stout
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Bushnell Stout
Each of us is meant to have a character all our own, to be what no other can exactly be, and do what no other can exactly do. ~ William Ellery Channing
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Ellery Channing
People don't mind being in prison as long as no one else is free. But stage a jailbreak, and everybody else freaks out. ~ William Deresiewicz
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Deresiewicz
O hell! to choose love with another's eye. ~ William Shakespeare
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Shakespeare
War and drink are the two things man is never too poor to buy. ~ William Faulkner
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Faulkner
Those who live with insomnia and who consider sleep both an enemy and a gift will understand the following. Some of us cannot comprehend how anyone except the very good or those who have no conscience at all can sleep from dark to dawn without dreaming or waking. We hear William Blake's tiger padding softly through a green jungle, his stripes glowing, his whiskers spotted with gore. Psychoanalysis does no good. Neither does a health regimen that induces physical exhaustion. The only solution that is guaranteed is the one provided by our old friend Morpheus, who requires our souls in the bargain. ~ James Lee Burke
William Porcher Miles quotes by James Lee Burke
Knowing not grieving remembers a thousand savage and lonely streets. ~ William Faulkner
William Porcher Miles quotes by William Faulkner
