Gordon/people

Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or people:

    Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe,
    Sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast,
    Is that portentous phrase, “I told you so,”
    Uttered by friends, those prophets of the past.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The tragedy of bold, forthright, industrious people is that they act so continuously without much thinking, that it becomes dry and empty.
