Famous quotes containing the words irving, stone and/or letters:

    A tart temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.
    —Washington Irving (1783–1859)

    I have no more cheap morals to draw from all this death.
    Judith Rascoe, U.S. screenwriter, Robert Stone (b. 1939)

    It is the highest and most legitimate pride of an Englishman to have the letters M.P. written after his name. No selection from the alphabet, no doctorship, no fellowship, be it of ever so learned or royal a society, no knightship,—not though it be of the Garter,—confers so fair an honour.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
