Hardy Defeated

Famous quotes containing the words hardy and/or defeated:

    That night your great guns, unawares,
    Shook all our coffins as we lay,
    And broke the chancel window-squares,
    We thought it was the Judgment-day
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    If I am defeated for the next nomination, I think it will be by [Charles Evans] Hughes. And I don’t think he will allow his name to be used unless he really feels that I have no chance to win. I do not think Theodore Roosevelt will allow his name to come before the convention.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
