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)

    Civility, which is a disposition to accommodate and oblige others, is essentially the same in every country; but good breeding, as it is called, which is the manner of exerting that disposition, is different in almost every country, and merely local; and every man of sense imitates and conforms to that local good breeding of the place which he is at.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
