1st Earl Howe

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or howe:

    If originally it was not good for a man to be alone, it is much worse for a sick man to be so; he thinks too much of his distemper, and magnifies it.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
    He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are
    stored;
    He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
    —Julia Ward Howe (1819–1910)
