1st Earl of Mansfield

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or mansfield:

    Learn to shrink yourself to the size of the company you are in. Take their tone, whatever it may be, and excell in it if you can; but never pretend to give the tone. A free conversation will no more bear a dictator than a free government will.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change. So suffering must become Love. That is the mystery.
    —Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923)
