1st Baron Greville

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or greville:

    There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.
    John Emerich Edward Dalberg, 1st Baron Acton (1834–1902)

    Three things there be in man’s opinion dear,
    Fame, many friends, and fortune’s dignities:
    False visions all, which in our sense appear,
    To sanctify desire’s idolatry.
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
