1st Earl of Orrery

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or orrery:

    I have looked on a lot of women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. God recognizes I will do this and forgives me.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    Word of gloom from the war, one day;
    Johnston pressed at the front, they say.
    Little Giffen was up and away;
    A tear—his first—as he bade good-by,
    Dimmed the glint of his steel-blue eye.
    “I’ll write, if spared!” There was news of the fight;
    But none of Giffen.—He did not write.
    —Francis Orrery Ticknor (1822–1874)
