2nd Earl Temple

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or temple:

    I love every-day senses, every-day wit and entertainment; a man who is only good on holidays, is good for very little.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Thou shalt make thy house
    The temple of a nation’s vows.
    Spirits of a higher strain
    Who sought thee once shall seek again.
    I detected many a god
    Forth already on the road,
    Ancestors of beauty come
    In thy breast to make a home.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
