Famous quotes containing the word earl:

    “Women who are either indisputably beautiful, or indisputably ugly, are best flattered upon the score of their understandings; but those who are in a state of mediocrity are best flattered upon their beauty, or at least their graces: for every woman who is not absolutely ugly, thinks herself handsome.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
