Held Private

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or private:

    Victory comes late—
    And is held low to freezing lips—
    Too rapt with frost
    To take it—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    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)
