1st Earl of Mansfield

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or mansfield:

    His breast was the seat of all those passions which degrade our nature, and disturb our reason. There they raged in a perpetual conflict; but avarice, the meanest of them all, generally triumphed, ruled absolutely, and in many instances, which I forbear to mention, most scandalously.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    I’m a writer first & a woman after.
    —Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923)
