Sitting Governor

Famous quotes containing the words sitting and/or governor:

    By sitting dressed like this, in rooms like these,
    Saying I can’t guess what just fancy, when
    They could be really drinking, or in bed....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    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)
