Famous quotes containing the word morgan:

    On like the wind they hurried, and Morgan rode in advance;
    Bright were his eyes like live coals, as he gave me a sideways
    glance;
    And I was just breathing freely, after my choking pain,
    When the last one of the troopers suddenly drew his rein.
    Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)

    Mr. Morgan buys his partners; I grow my own.
    Andrew Carnegie (1835–1919)
