Closely Held Company

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

    As to the family, I have never understood how that fits in with the other ideals—or, indeed, why it should be an ideal at all. A group of closely related persons living under one roof; it is a convenience, often a necessity, sometimes a pleasure, sometimes the reverse; but who first exalted it as admirable, an almost religious ideal?
    Rose Macaulay (1881–1958)

    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)

    “Come, boys, I know there’s kindly hearts among so good a
    crowd—
    To be in such good company would make a deacon proud.
    Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)
