Created Earl

Famous quotes containing the words created and/or earl:

    Blue hampers . . . Explosions,
    Ice . . . The ridiculous
    Vases of porphyry. All that our youth
    Can’t use, that it was created for.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Horse-play, romping, frequent and loud fits of laughter, jokes, waggery, and indiscriminate familiarity, will sink both merit and knowledge into a degree of contempt. They compose at most a merry fellow; and a merry fellow was never yet a respectable man.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
