Famous quotes containing the words governor and/or general:
“I saw the man my friend ... wants pardoned, Thomas Flinton. He is a bright, good-looking fellow.... Of his innocence all are confident. The governor strikes me as a man seeking popularity, who lacks the independence and manhood to do right at the risk of losing popularity. Afraid of what will be said. He is prejudiced against the Irish and Democrats.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Even more important than the discovery of Columbus, which we are gathered together to celebrate, is the fact that the general government has just discovered women.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
