Famous quotes containing the word earl:

    “In private life he was good-natured, chearful, social; inelegant in his manners, loose in his morals. He had a coarse, strong wit, which he was too free of for a man in his station, as it is always inconsistent with dignity. He was very able as a minister, but without a certain elevation of mind necessary for great good, or great mischief.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
