These were the companions who justified my principles, who gave me the strength to continue against any foe, real or imagined. These were the companions who fought the helplessness, the rage, and frustration. These were the friends who gave me my life.

R. A. Salvatore

Never were two people more opposite in sentiment than my companions.

William Hamilton Maxwell

My mother and father were never frightened of anything. They always felt that they should go through life happily and without fear, and they did that. And it was a great boon to my brother and myself.

John Cassavetes

As an only child, I may have been alone a lot, but I was never lonely. My invisible friends were my constant companions.

Teresa Medeiros

I will never tire of repeating this: what the poor need the most is not pity but love. They need to feel respect for their human dignity, which is neither less nor different from the dignity of any other human being.

Mother Teresa

We used to have adults who set standards, moral standards, cultural standards, legal standards. They were better than we were. They gave us something to aspire to. They were people that we described as having dignity and character. That's all gone now, particularly the upper levels of the Democrat Party. There isn't any of that kind of decency, dignity, character, morality.

Rush Limbaugh

The hard and stiff are death's companions. The soft and weak are life's companions.

Laozi

The writers of books are companions in one's life and, as such, are often more interesting than other companions.

James Salter

What should move us to action is human dignity: the inalienable dignity of the oppressed, but also the dignity of each of us. We lose dignity if we tolerate the intolerable.

Dominique de Menil

One finds many companions for food and drink, but in a serious business a man's companions are very few.

Theognis of Megara

The reader need not be told that John Bull never leaves home without encumbering himself with the greatest possible load of luggage. Our companions were no exception to the rule.

Francis Parkman

My books have been part of my life forever. They have been good soldiers, boon companions. Every book has survived numerous purges over the years; each book has repeatedly been called onto the carpet and asked to explain itself. I own no book that has not fought the good fight, taken on all comers, and earned the right to remain. If a book is there, it is there for a reason.

Joe Queenan

I was never a 'Mills and Boon' kind of a person.

Dimple Kapadia

War and Authority are companions; Peace and Liberty are companions.

Benjamin Tucker

To never have been born may be the greatest boon of all.

Sophocles

I used to believe that love and happiness were synonymous. I was a fool. Love intensifies all emotions. Nothing is so painful o so sweet, so thrilling or so desperate... Pleasure is, after all, a luxury. It's love thats essential. You are never so alive as when you love, never so alert, intuitive, attentive, never so smart or so compassionate.
