1st Earl of Bath

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or bath:

    Conscious virtue is the only solid foundation of all happiness; for riches, power, rank, or whatever, in the common acceptation of the word, is supposed to constitute happiness, will never quiet, much less cure, the inward pangs of guilt.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    I think sometimes, could I only have music on my own terms; could I live in a great city and know where I could go whenever I wished the ablution and inundation of musical waves,—that were a bath and a medicine.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
