8th Earl of Bridgewater

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or bridgewater:

    this freedom, this liberty, this beautiful
    and terrible thing, needful to man as air,
    usable as earth;
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    I have heard of a minister, who had been a fisherman, being settled in Bridgewater for as long a time as he could tell a cod from a haddock. Generous as it seems, this condition would empty most country pulpits forthwith, for it is long since the fishers of men were fishermen.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
