1st Earl of Mansfield

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or mansfield:

    I would rather have a young fellow too much than too little dressed: the excess on that side will wear off, with a little age and reflection; but if he is negligent at twenty, he will be a sloven at forty, and stink at fifty years old.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    To work—to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.
    —Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923)
