Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or mar:

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“The mother as a social servant instead of a home servant will not lack in true mother duty.... From her work, loved and honored though it is, she will return to her home life, the child life, with an eager, ceaseless pleasure, cleansed of all the fret and fraction and weariness that so mar it now.”
—Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
