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 sicknessphysical and moral: all the others are purely in the imagination.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“I endeavor not to conceal that I believe there is a great mixture of desire in the passion which is called loveor rather, without any far-fetched strain on words, it may be called the companion of love.”
—Sarah Fielding (17101768)
