Should the sentence From sea to shining be put in quotation marks if you are using it a greeting card?

Yes, you should put "From sea to shining" in quotation marks if you're using it on a greeting card.

Here's why:

* It's a partial quote: The full phrase is "From sea to shining sea." By using only part of the phrase, you're referencing the well-known quote, and quotation marks signal that.

* It creates a sense of familiarity: Quotation marks help the recipient recognize the phrase and connect it to its patriotic meaning.

Here's an example of how you could use it:

> "Wishing you a happy birthday, from sea to shining..."
