Popular Phillip Dormer Stanhope Quotes
There is a Spanish proverb, which says very justly, 'Tell me whom you live with, and I will tell you who you are'. A chapter of accidents. The pleasure is momentary, the position ridiculous and the expense damnable. Advice is seldom welcome; and those who need it the most, always like it the least. Speak of the moderns without contempt, and of the ancients without idolatry.
