Companions Pure

Famous quotes containing the words companions and/or pure:

    The poet is no tender slip of fairy stock, who requires peculiar institutions and edicts for his defense, but the toughest son of earth and of Heaven, and by his greater strength and endurance his fainting companions will recognize the God in him. It is the worshipers of beauty, after all, who have done the real pioneer work of the world.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Rejoice ye pure in heart,
    Rejoice, give thanks, and sing;
    Your orient banners wave on high,
    The cross of Christ your King.
    Edward Plumptre (1821–1891)
