Famous quotes containing the word earl:

    “The only sure way of avoiding these evils [vanity and boasting] is never to speak of yourself at all. But when, historically, you are obliged to mention yourself, take care not to drop one single word that can directly or indirectly be construed as fishing for applause.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
