Created Earl

Famous quotes containing the words created and/or earl:

    All things by human laws created change:
    Lands to each other known, in time grow strange:
    Nations in course of many years put on
    A various face; but heaven wears always one.
    Marcus Manilius (10 B.C.–A.D. 30)

    If a marriage is going to work well, it must be on a solid footing, namely money, and of that commodity it is the girl with the smallest dowry who, to my knowledge, consumes the most, to infuriate her husband. All the same, it is only fair that the marriage should pay for past pleasures, since it will scarcely procure any in the future.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
