Famous quotes containing the word earl:

    “All ceremonies are in themselves very silly things; but yet, a man of the world should know them. They are the outworks of Manners and Decency, which would be too often broken in upon, if it were not for that defence, which keeps the enemy at a proper distance.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
