Famous quotes containing the words doctor and/or companion:
“It seems to me that your doctor [Tronchin] is more of a philosopher than a physician. As for me, I much prefer a doctor who is an optimist and who gives me remedies that will improve my health. Philosophical consolations are, after all, useless against real ailments. I know only two kinds of sickness—physical and moral: all the others are purely in the imagination.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Religion which lays so many restraints upon us, is a troublesome companion to those who will lay no restraints upon themselves.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
