Famous quotes containing the word gordon:

    It will be difficult for me not to make sport for the Philistines by pulling down a house or two, since when I once take pen in hand, I must say what comes uppermost, or fling it away.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Sorrow is knowledge: they who know the most
    Must mourn the deepest o’er the fatal truth,
    The Tree of Knowledge is not that of Life.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Except that household virtue, most uncommon,
    Of constancy to a bad, ugly woman.
