Famous quotes containing the words cowper and/or earl:

    O, popular applause! what heart of man
    Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    You must labour to acquire that great and uncommon talent of hating with good breeding, and loving with prudence; to make no quarrel irreconcilable by silly and unnecessary indications of anger; and no friendship dangerous, in care it breaks, by a wanton, indiscreet, and unreserved confidence.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
