Created Earl

Famous quotes containing the words created and/or earl:

    The principal rule of art is to please and to move. All the other rules were created to achieve this first one.
    Jean Racine (1639–1699)

    Abject flattery and indiscriminate assentation degrade, as much as indiscriminate contradiction and noisy debate disgust. But a modest assertion of one’s own opinion, and a complaisant acquiescence in other people’s, preserve dignity.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
