Sitting Governor

Famous quotes containing the words sitting and/or governor:

“Nice to see you up and about again, even though you are sitting down.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

“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)
