Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or williams:

    “When a man of sense happens to be in that disagreeable situation in which he is obliged to ask himself more than once, What shall I do? he will answer himself, Nothing. When his reason points out to him no good way, he will stop short, and wait for light. A little busy mind runs on at all events, must be doing; and, like a blind horse, fears no dangers, because he sees none. Il faut scavoir s’ennuïer.*”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Kicking and rolling about
    the Fair Grounds, swinging their butts, those
    shanks must be sound to bear up under such
    rollicking measures, prance as they dance
    in Breughel’s great picture, The Kermess.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
