Created Earl

Famous quotes containing the words created and/or earl:

“You were created of your name, the word
Is that of which you were the personage.
There is no life except in the word of it.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“In private life he was good-natured, chearful, social; inelegant in his manners, loose in his morals. He had a coarse, strong wit, which he was too free of for a man in his station, as it is always inconsistent with dignity. He was very able as a minister, but without a certain elevation of mind necessary for great good, or great mischief.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
