Famous Quotes / Philip Dormer Stanhope Chesterfield
Philip Dormer Stanhope Chesterfield: "Wrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever. It implies a discovery of weakness, which we are more careful to conceal than a crime. Many a man will confess his crimes to a friend; but I never knew a man that would tell his silly weaknesses to his most intimate one."
