Title Earl

Famous quotes containing the words title and/or earl:

“He who, in an enlightened and literary society, aspires to be a great poet, must first become a little child. He must take to pieces the whole web of his mind. He must unlearn much of that knowledge which has perhaps constituted hitherto his chief title to superiority. His very talents will be a hindrance to him.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

“You must embrace the man you hate, if you cannot be justified in knocking him down.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
