Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or vincent:

    Men are much more unwilling to have their weaknesses and their imperfections known, than their crimes; and, if you hint to a man that you think him silly, ignorant or even ill-bred or awkward, he will hate you more and longer than it you tell him plainly that you think him a rogue.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    a long shot at long odds, a black mare
    By Hatred out of Envy by Despair.
    —James Vincent Cunningham (1911–1985)
