1st Earl of Bath

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or bath:

    Abject flattery and indiscriminate assentation degrade, as much as indiscriminate contradiction and noisy debate disgust. But a modest assertion of one’s own opinion, and a complaisant acquiescence in other people’s, preserve dignity.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one’s bath like a lump of sugar.
    Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
