Famous quotes containing the word earl:

    “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)
