    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Kate Chopin (1851–1904)

    This hard work will always be done by one kind of man; not by scheming speculators, nor by soldiers, nor professors, nor readers of Tennyson; but by men of endurance—deep-chested, long- winded, tough, slow and sure, and timely.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
