"With the knowledge of Greek I have given him." M. d'Anquetil turned round to me and said: "What, sir, you know Greek! You are not then a gentleman?" "No, sir," I replied, "I am not. My father is the banner-bearer of the Guild of Parisian Cooks." "Well, under such conditions it is impossible for me to kill you. Kindly accept my excuses. But, abbe, you don't drink. You imposed upon me.
Paul, giant young chief of the North, marching with seven-league stride in the van of progress, banner-bearer of the highest and newest civilization, carving his beneficent way with the tomahawk of commercial enterprise, sounding the warwhoop of Christian culture, tearing off the reeking scalp of sloth and superstition to plant there the steam-plow and the school-house ever in his front stretch arid lawlessness, ignorance, crime, despair; ever in his wake bloom the jail, the gallows, and the pulpit; and ever
For two or three years before this he had been speaking at public meetings, securing more and more confidence as he realized his powers.

He is a custodian, a trustee. He has no right to sit down, idle and contented, to the life of a country gentleman in England. He is the banner-bearer of his race. He has no right to leave the banner folded in a dark closet. He must unfurl his banner, and bear it bravely in the sight of the world. That is the justification, that is the mission, of noblesse.
The men were armed for the most part with sword and pistol, while a few had the buff-coats, plates, and headpieces taken at Axminster, still stained sometimes with the blood of the last wearer.

There was a sufficiency of them at Rutli; there were plenty of them at Murten; plenty at Grandson; there are plenty today. And the first of them all the very first, earliest banner-bearer of human freedom in this world was not a man, but a woman Stauffacher's wife.
"It will be difficult for you to mistake this little blue-coal for any other bird. He is 'true blue, which is as rare a color among birds its it is among flowers. He is the banner-bearer of Birdland also, and loyally floats the tricolor from our trees and telegraph wires; for, besides being blue, is he not also red and white?"

The Curé of Santa Cruz said grace, and the banquet began. Don Carlos was a man of joyous soul and large, exuberant spirit, with a generous, romantic, and heroic nature. He also knew how to lay aside, on occasion, all the cares of his position; so now he was no longer the commander of a gallant army, the banner-bearer of a great cause, the claimant of a throne.
