"I heard the old, old, men say ‘all that’s beautiful drifts away, like the waters.’" ― William Butler Yeats Topic(s): Men More From William Butler Yeats "Choose your companions from the best; Who draws a bucket with the rest soon topples down the hill." "People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind." "You that would judge me, do not judge alone this book or that, come to this hallowed place where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon; Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace; think where man’s glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends."
