Famous quotes containing the words hurricane and/or earl:
“Staid middle age loves the hurricane passions of opera.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Spirit is now a very fashionable word: to act with Spirit, to speak with Spirit, means only to act rashly, and to talk indiscreetly. An able man shows his Spirit by gentle words and resolute actions; he is neither hot nor timid.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
