Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or object:

    A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    His eye begets occasion for his wit,
    For every object that the one doth catch
    The other turns to a mirth-moving jest.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
