Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or tupper:

    The great, the rich, the powerful, too often bestow their favours upon their inferiors in the manner they bestow their scraps upon their dogs, so as neither to oblige man nor dogs.

    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    A good book is the best of friends, the same today and for ever.
