Famous quotes containing the word gordon:

    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)

    To fly from, need not be to hate, mankind:
    All are not fit with them to stir and toil,
    Nor is it discontent to keep the mind
    Deep in its fountain, lest it overboil.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
