Robert Earl Hayden

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or hayden:

    A man of sense soon discovers, because he carefully observes, where and how long he is welcome; and takes care to leave the company at least as soon as he is wished out of it. Fools never perceive whether they are ill timed or ill placed.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Lord’s lost Him His mockingbird,
    His fancy warbler;
    Satan sweet-talked her,
    four bullets hushed her.
    Who would have thought
    she’d end that way?
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
