Governor Jerry Brown

Famous quotes containing the words governor, jerry and/or brown:

    “I saw the man my friend ... wants pardoned, Thomas Flinton. He is a bright, good-looking fellow.... Of his innocence all are confident. The governor strikes me as a man seeking popularity, who lacks the independence and manhood to do right at the risk of losing popularity. Afraid of what will be said. He is prejudiced against the Irish and Democrats.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Then word goes forth in Formic:
    “Death’s come to Jerry McCormic,
    Our selfless forager Jerry.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The brown waves of fog toss up to me
    Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
    And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
    An aimless smile that hovers in the air
    And vanishes along the level of the roofs.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
