Grey Company

Famous quotes containing the words grey and/or company:

    Of an old King in a story
    From the grey sea-folk I have heard,
    Whose heart was no more broken
    Than the wings of a bird.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    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.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
