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)

“they are brown and soft,
And liable to melt as snow.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
