Governor Jerry Brown

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

    Three years ago, also, when the Sims tragedy was acted, I said to myself, There is such an officer, if not such a man, as the Governor of Massachusetts,—what has he been about the last fortnight? Has he had as much as he could do to keep on the fence during this moral earthquake?... He could at least have resigned himself into fame.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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

    You sang:
    Me an’ muh baby gonna shine, shine
    Me an’ muh baby gonna shine.
    The strong men keep a-comin’ on
    The strong men git stronger . . .
    —Sterling Allen Brown (b. 1901)
