Famous quotes containing the words harry and/or gordon:

    Money certainly brings out the best in you, doesn’t it?
    —Mark Hanna. Nathan Hertz. Harry Archer (William Hudson)

    I wonder if his appetite was good?
    Or, if it were, if also his digestion?
    Methinks at meals some odd thoughts might intrude,
    And conscience ask a curious sort of question,
    About the right divine how far we should
    Sell flesh and blood.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
