Famous quotes containing the words connections and/or errors:
“A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note,
But ‘tis my heart that loves what they dispise,”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
