Gordon Claimed

Famous quotes containing the words gordon and/or claimed:

“The conqueror at least; who, ere Time renders
His last award, will have the long grass grow
Above his burnt-out brain and sapless cinders.
If I might augur, I should rate but low
Their chances: they are too numerous, like the thirty
Mock tyrants, when Rome’s annals wax’d but dirty.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“To be claimed as good, though in an improper style, is at least better than being rejected as no good at all.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
