Companions Quotes

The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night Picture Quote #1

Death and sorrow will be the companions of our journey; hardship our garment; constancy and valor our only shield. We must be united, we must be undaunted, we must be inflexible Picture Quote #1

Talking over the things which you have read with your companions fixes them on the mind Picture Quote #1

Books are my friends, my companions. They make me laugh and cry and find meaning in life Picture Quote #1

Anyone who imagines they can work alone winds up surrounded by nothing but rivals, without companions. The fact is, no one ascends alone Picture Quote #1

You ask of my companions. Hills, sir, and the sundown, and a dog as large as myself Picture Quote #1

It has always seemed absurd to suppose that a God would choose for his companions, during all eternity, the dear souls whose highest and only ambition is to obey Picture Quote #1

I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and my despair in seclusion; I need the sunshine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company Picture Quote #1

... the companions of our childhood always possess a certain power over our minds which hardly any later friend can obtain Picture Quote #1

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print Picture Quote #1

She was not often invited to join in the conversation of the others, nor did she desire it. Her own thoughts and reflections were habitually her best companions Picture Quote #1

How tranquil is a coral tomb, and may the heavens grant that my companions and I be buried in no other! Picture Quote #1

We should choose our books as we would our companions, for their sterling and intrinsic merit Picture Quote #1

In talking with scholars, I observe that they lost on ruder companions those years of boyhood which alone could give imaginative literature a religious and infinite quality in their esteem Picture Quote #1

The hard and stiff are death’s companions. The soft and weak are life’s companions Picture Quote #1

Knowledge and understanding are life’s faithful companions who will never prove untrue to you. For knowledge is your crown, and understanding your staff; and when they are with you, you can possess no greater treasures Picture Quote #1

I am an ark in the swift flood of time, and my companions, a fellowship. Who throws in with us sails into light Picture Quote #1

For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches Picture Quote #1

If they are ignorant, they are despised, if learned, mocked. In love they are reduced to the status of courtesans. As wives they are treated more as servants than as companions. Men do not love them: they make use of them, they exploit them, and expect, in that way, to make them subject to the law of fidelity Picture Quote #1

Even where the affections are not strongly moved by any superior excellence, the companions of our childhood always possess a certain power over our minds which hardly any later friend can obtain. They know our infantine dispositions, which, however they may be afterwards modified, are never eradicated; and they can judge of our actions with more certain conclusions as to the integrity of our motives Picture Quote #1

Is there anything in the world better than words on the page? Magic signs, the voices of the dead, building blocks to make wonderful worlds better than this one, comforters, companions in loneliness. Keepers of secrets, speakers of the truth... all those glorious words Picture Quote #1

I had no companions to quarrel with, nobody to assist, and nobody to thank... the evil consequence of all this was not, however, what might perhaps have been expected, that I grew up selfish or non affectionate; but that, when affection did come, it came with a violence utterly rampant and unmanageable Picture Quote #1

At last there dawned the most beautiful day of all the days of my life. How perfectly I remember even the smallest details of those sacred hours! The joyful awakening, the reverent and tender embraces of my mistresses and older companions, the room filled with white frocks, like so many snowflakes, where each child was dressed in turn Picture Quote #1

Companions are we, enlivened by a mighty gallop quickly sliding a harsh straw basket of sea foam gathered astride the tide Picture Quote #1

A person needs at intervals to separate himself from family and companions and go to new places. He must go without his familiars in order to be open to influences, to change Picture Quote #1

The last man! Yes I may well describe that solitary being’s feelings, feeling myself as the last relic of a beloved race, my companions extinct before me Picture Quote #1

One finds many companions for food and drink, but in a serious business a man’s companions are few Picture Quote #1

My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won Picture Quote #1
