Youth Governor

Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or governor:

“I urge you to spend your youth profitably in study and virtue.... In brief, let me see in you an abyss of knowledge.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)

“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)
