5th Earl Spencer

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or spencer:

    It is a great advantage for any man to be able to talk or hear, neither ignorantly nor absurdly, upon any subject; for I have known people, who have not said one word, hear ignorantly and absurdly; it has appeared by their inattentive and unmeaning faces.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Guilt pins a fig-leaf; Innocence is its own adorning.
    —Anne Spencer (1882–1975)
