Governor Martin

Famous quotes containing the words governor and/or martin:

“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)

“Francine Evans: That seat’s taken.
Jimmy Doyle: I know it’s taken. But I’m gonna sit here and I’m gonna figure out another angle.”
—Earl MacRauch, U.S. screenwriter, Mardik Martin, and Martin Scorsese. Francine Evans (Liza Minnelli)
