1st Earl of Bristol

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or bristol:

    Smooth your way to the head, through the heart. The way of reason is a good one; but it is commonly something longer, and perhaps not so sure.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    It’s of a rich squire in Bristol doth dwell,
    There are ladies of honour that love him well,
    But all was in vain, in vain was said,
    For he was in love with a charming milkmaid.
    —Unknown. Squire and Milkmaid; or, Blackberry Fold (l. 1–4)
