3rd Earl of Essex

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or essex:

    His poor, crazy, deformed body was a mere Pandora’s box, containing all the physical ills that ever afflicted humanity. This, perhaps, whetted the edge of his satire, and may in some degree excuse it.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Well, it seems to me a scientist has need for both vision and confidence.
