Famous quotes containing the word earl:
“Observe it, the vulgar often laugh, but never smile, whereas well-bred people often smile, and seldom or never laugh. A witty thing never excited laughter, it pleases only the mind and never distorts the countenance.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
