| EARL of CHESTERFIELD |
| A light supper, a good night's sleep, and a fine morning have often made a hero of the same man who by indigestion, a restless night, and a rainy morning, would have proved a coward. Even polished brass will pass upon more people than rough gold. History is only a confused heap of facts. Since attaining the full use of my reason no one has ever heard me laugh. |
