Hayes

Famous quotes containing the word hayes:

    Chile consents to do all we can reasonably demand. My regret is that our Government blustered and bullied. President [Benjamin] Harrison argued in his message like a prosecutor—made the most of the case against our weak sister. Forbearance, charity, friendship, arbitration should have been in our words and thoughts.
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Frances Stevens: Mother, this is why I’ve had to spend half my life running around the world after you—to keep men like this away from you.
    Mrs. Stevens: Well after this, let me run my own interference. It looks like the blockers are having all the fun.
    —John Michael Hayes (b. 1919)

    I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
