Slater Gordon/founders

Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or founders:

    A bargain is in its very essence a hostile transaction ... do not all men try to abate the price of all they buy? I contend that a bargain even between brethren is a declaration of war.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    A spot whereon the founders lived and died
    Seemed once more dear than life; ancestral trees,
    Or gardens rich in memory glorified
    Marriages, alliances, and families,
    And every bride’s ambition satisfied.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
