Companions Quotes

I miss dogs, man. I always had a family pet, always had a dog growing up. It was almost equivalent to the prison sentence, having something taken away from me for three years. I want a dog just for the sake of my kids, but also me. I miss my companions Picture Quote #1

Life is a journey one that much better traveled with a companion by our side. Sometimes, we lose our companions along the way and then the journey becomes unbearable. You see, human beings are designed for many things, but loneliness isn’t one of them Picture Quote #1

My books have been part of my life forever. They have been good soldiers, boon companions. Every book has survived numerous purges over the years; each book has repeatedly been called onto the carpet and asked to explain itself. I own no book that has not fought the good fight, taken on all comers, and earned the right to remain. If a book is there, it is there for a reason Picture Quote #1

It is a truism to say that the dog is largely what his master makes of him: he can be savage and dangerous, untrustworthy, cringing and fearful; or he can be faithful and loyal, courageous and the best of companions and allies Picture Quote #1

Make no man your friend before inquiring how he has used his former friends; for you must expect him to treat you as he has treated them. Be slow to give your friendship, but when you have given it, strive to make it lasting; for it is as reprehensible to make many changes in one’s associates as to have no friends at all. Neither test your friends to your own injury nor be willing to forego a test of your companions Picture Quote #1

It’s not the breed that makes a good companion. All dogs are great companions Picture Quote #1

We think in youth that our bodies are identical to ourselves and have the same interests, but discover later in life that they are heartless companions who have been accidentally yoked with us, and who are as likely as not, in our extreme sickness or old age, to treat us with less mercy than we would have received at the hands of the worst bandits Picture Quote #1

I master my doubts now. I have fun with them, they’re my travelling companions Picture Quote #1

We are writers. We danced with words, as children, in what became familiar patterns. The words became our friends and our companions, and without even saying it aloud, a thought danced with them: I can do this. This is who I am Picture Quote #1

I have often been reminded of the wild duck that came down on migration into a barnyard and liked it so well that he stayed there. In the fall his erstwhile companions passed overhead and his first impulse was to rise and join them, but he had fed too well and could rise no higher than the eaves of the barn. The day came when his old fellow travelers could pass overhead without his even hearing their call. I have seen men and women who once mounted up with wings like eagles but are now content to live in the barnyard of this world Picture Quote #1

Stupid religion makes stupid beliefs, stupid leaders make stupid rules, stupid environment makes stupid health, stupid companions makes stupid behaviour, stupid movies makes stupid acts, stupid food makes stupid skin, stupid bed makes stupid sleep, stupid ideas makes stupid decisions, stupid clothes makes stupid appearance. Lets get rid of stupidity from our stupid short lives Picture Quote #1

Books are the most mannerly of companions, accessible at all times, in all moods, frankly declaring the author’s mind, without offense Picture Quote #1

Enemies could become the best companions. Companionship is based on a common interest, and the greater the interest the closer the companionship. What makes enemies of people, if not the eagerness, the passion for the same thing? Picture Quote #1

Mud, rubbish and dirt are man’s companions all his life; shouldn’t they be precious to him, and isn’t one doing man’s service to remind him of their beauty? Picture Quote #1

I am conquered less by fortune than by the egotism and ingratitude of my companions in arms Picture Quote #1

It is of far more important that a man shall play something himself, even if he plays it badly, than that he shall go with hundreds of companions to see someone else play well Picture Quote #1

Just as water will conform to the shape of the vessel that contains it, so will a man follow the good and evil of his companions Picture Quote #1

One cannot celebrate books sufficiently. After saying his best, still something better remains to be spoken in their praise. As with friends, one finds new beauties at every interview, and would stay long in the presence of those choice companions. As with friends, he may dispense with a wide acquaintance. Few and choice. The richest minds need not large libraries Picture Quote #1

Poetry and painting continue to be companions: they cast their shadow and light, their silences and tones, at the edges of each other Picture Quote #1

Fishing books, lit by emotion recollected in tranquility, are like poetry.... We do not think of them as books but as men. They are our companions and not only riverside. Summer and winter they are with us and what a pleasant company they are Picture Quote #1

Select companions who are striving for enlightenment. They all have their imperfections, certainly, but at least their attention is moving in the right direction Picture Quote #1

Fathers and husbands! do ye not also understand this fact? Do ye not see how, in the mental bondage of your wives and fair companions, ye yourselves are bound? Picture Quote #1

In an age where the lowered eyelid is just a sign of fatigue, the delicate game of love is pining away. Freud and flirtation are poor companions Picture Quote #1

Our companions please us less from the charms we find in their conversation than from those they find in ours Picture Quote #1

Talent and generosity are needed to recognize talent and generosity in our companions; all is discord to an ear that has no idea of harmonies, but it needs a musical ear to delight in music Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t matter where you are in your own personal development, nor has it mattered where you have been culturally; dogs simply don’t pass judgment on you the way all of the rest of life and all your other companions seem to Picture Quote #1

It is part of the business of life to be affable and pleasing to those whom either nature, chance or circumstance has made our companions Picture Quote #1

Lust hath these three companions: the first, blindness of understanding; the second, hardness of heart; the third, want of grace Picture Quote #1

I believe that in this generation those with the courage to enter the conflict will find themselves with companions in every corner of the world Picture Quote #1

In what concerns you much, do not think that you have companions: know that you are alone in the world Picture Quote #1
