Famous quotes containing the words coarse, salt and/or company:
“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... the darkness,
Inviting to this house
Air from a field, air from a salt grave ...”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“More company increases happiness, but does not lighten or diminish misery.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
