Created Earl

Famous quotes containing the words created and/or earl:

“He gave man speech, and speech created thought,
Which is the measure of the universe;”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
