Style Contests

Famous quotes containing the words style and/or contests:

“Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received, as your person, though ever so well-proportioned, would if dressed in rags, dirt, and tatters.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong.”
