Famous quotes containing the words company and/or bore:
“Endeavor, as much as you can, to keep company with people above you.... Do not mistake, when I say company above you, and think that I mean with regard to their birth; that is the least consideration; but I mean with regard to their merit, and the light in which the world considers them.”

All nights fathomless wisdom come,
That I had shorn my locks away
And laid them on Loves lettered tomb:
But something bore them out of sight
In a great tumult of the air.”
