Governor Jerry Brown

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

    Ah, Governor [Murphy, of New Jersey], don’t try to deceive me as to the sentiment of the dear people. I have been hearing from the West and the East, and the South seems to be the only section which approves of me at all, and that comes from merely a generous impulse, for even that section would deny me its votes.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Hell and damnation,
    life is such fun
    with a ragged greatcoat
    and a Jerry gun!
    Alexander Blok (1880–1921)

    My ole man died—hunh—
    Cussin’ me;
    Ole lady rocks, bebby,
    Huh misery.
    —Sterling Allen Brown (b. 1901)
