Famous quotes containing the word cardinal:
“Distrust all those who love you extremely upon a very slight acquaintance, and without any visible reason. Be upon your guard, too, against those who confess, as their weaknesses, all the cardinal virtues.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
