Governor Steele

Famous quotes containing the words governor and/or steele:

“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)

“An Author, when he first appears in the World, is very apt to believe it has nothing to think of but his Performances.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
