2nd Earl of Harrington

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or harrington:

    I have been too long acquainted with human nature to have great regard for human testimony; and a very great degree of probability, supported by various concurrent circumstances, conspiring in one point, will have much greater weight with me, than human testimony upon oath, or even upon honour; both of which I have frequently seen considerably warped by private views.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Clothes make the poor invisible.... America has the best-dressed poverty the world has ever known.
    —Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
