Closely Held Company

Famous quotes containing the words closely, held and/or company:

    But his kiss was so sweet, and so closely he pressed,
    That I languished and pined till I granted the rest.

    Then moved my Fingers off
    As cautiously as Glass
    And held my ears, and like a Thief
    Fled gasping from the House—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    These studies which stimulate the young, divert the old, are an ornament in prosperity and a refuge and comfort in adversity; they delight us at home, are no impediment in public life, keep us company at night, in our travels, and whenever we retire to the country.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
