Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or humphrey:

    They mourn, but smile at length; and, smiling, mourn;
    The tree will wither long before it fall;
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    We should have learnt by now that laws and court decisions can only point the way. They can establish criteria of right and wrong. And they can provide a basis for rooting out the evils of bigotry and racism. But they cannot wipe away centuries of oppression and injustice—however much we might desire it.
    —Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
