Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or governor:
“And my youth comes back to me.

A boys will is the winds will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (18091882)
“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 (18221893)
