Created Earl

Famous quotes containing the words created and/or earl:

“If the devil doesn’t exist and, therefore, man has created him, he has created him in his own image and likeness.”
—Feodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881)

“Patience, to hear frivolous, impertinent, and unreasonable applications: with address enough to refuse, without offending; or, by your manner of granting, to double the obligation: dexterity enough to conceal a truth, without telling a lie: sagacity enough to read other people’s countenances: and serenity enough not to let them discover anything by yours; a seeming frankness, with a real reserve. These are the rudiments of a politician; the world must be your grammar.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
