Famous quotes containing the words watch and/or company:
“Hard is his lot, that here by Fortune plac’d,
Must watch the wild Vicissitudes of Taste;”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“The delicious faces of children, the beauty of school-girls, “the sweet seriousness of sixteen,” the lofty air of well-born, well-bred boys, the passionate histories in the looks and manners of youth and early manhood, and the varied power in all that well-known company that escort us through life,—we know how these forms thrill, paralyze, provoke, inspire, and enlarge us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
