There's some belting hymns. Brilliant hymns. When I was an altar boy the hymns were great.

Peter Kay

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

One of the things that is wonderful about hymns is that they are a sort of universally shared poetry, at least among certain populations. There isn't much of that anymore either. There are very few poems people can recite, but there are quite a few hymns that, if you hum a few bars, people can at least come up with two verses. Many of the older hymns are very beautiful.

Marilynne Robinson

I would like travelers, especially American travelers, to travel in a way that broadens their perspective.

Rick Steves

Ancient travelers guessed; modern travelers measure.

Samuel Johnson

I grew up in the church, with traditional hymns, but at the same time I was beginning to listen to pop music, the mid-60s, The Beatles, which had just as much influence on me as those hymns did. Then the hippy stuff like Pink Floyd started to raise questions about how I lived my life and the world in which I lived.

Alan Green

My mum was raised Jewish, my dad is very scientifically minded, and my school was vaguely Christian. We sang hymns in school. I liked the hymns bit, but apart from that, I can take it or leave it. So I had lots of different influences when I was younger.

Ben Barnes

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

Theognis of Megara

What a way to learn great theology! That's what comes to mind whenever I sing one of those old hymns. "And Can It Be" is like putting the doctrine of salvation to music. "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" is a melodic lesson in grace. No wonder good hymns make for strong faith!

Joni Eareckson Tada

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

I like travelers, but I don't like tourists. The difference is that travelers don't shop and they don't play golf.

Tom Robbins

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

Benjamin Tucker

Sometimes I, as a public official, turn to Scripture or hymns - especially hymns, because sometimes we Catholics don't have the Scriptures memorized like we should - to help me explain a public policy position or an idea or to be able to articulate it better when you're talking about justice or mercy or compassion.

Bob Casey, Jr.

My poems are hymns of praise to the glory of life.

Edith Sitwell

Just as anyone who listens to the muse will hear, you can write out of your own intention or out of inspiration. There is such a thing. It comes up and talks. And those who have heard deeply the rhythms and hymns of the gods, can recite those hymns in such a way that the gods will be attracted.

Joseph Campbell
