1st Earl of Richmond

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or richmond:

    It is hard to say which is the greatest fool: he who tells the whole truth, or he who tells no truth at all. Character is as necessary in business as in trade. No man can deceive often in either.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Trams and dusty trees.
    Highbury bore me. Richmond and Kew
    Undid me. By Richmond I raised my knees
    Supine on the floor of a narrow canoe.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
