Philip Hide

Famous quotes containing the words philip and/or hide:

    I shall not want Honour in Heaven
    For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney
    And have talk with Coriolanus
    And other heroes of that kidney.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    There is no ordinary Part of humane Life which expresseth so much a good Mind, and a right inward Man, as his Behaviour upon Meeting with Strangers, especially such as may seem the most unsuitable Companions to him: Such a Man when he falleth in the Way with Persons of Simplicity and Innocence, however knowing he may be in the Ways of Men, will not vaunt himself thereof; but will the rather hide his Superiority to them, that he may not be painful unto them.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)
