Famous quotes containing the words earl of and/or earl:

    Man differs more from Man, than Man from Beast.
    John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)

    Great Negative, how vainly would the Wise
    Enquire, define, distinguish, teach, devise,
    Didst thou not stand to point their dull Philosophies?
    Is, or is not, the two great Ends of Fate,
    And, true or false, the Subject of Debate,
    That perfect, or destroy, the vast Designs of Fate,
    John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1909–1969)
