Provinces Considered Foreign

Famous quotes containing the words considered and/or foreign:

“If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing; everything goes through us.”
—Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863)

“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)
