Famous quotes containing the word earl:
“A man of sense only trifles with them, plays with them, humours and flatters them, as he does with a sprightly and forward child; but he neither consults them about, nor trusts them with, serious matters.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
