Quotations for crowd

A crowd is not company. [ Proverb ]

A great crowd accompanying. [ Virgil ]

My equal he will be again
Down in that cold oblivious gloom,
Where all the prostrate ranks of men
Crowd without fellowship, the tomb. [ J. Montgomery ]

We know that wealth well understood,
Hath frequent power of doing good;
Then fancy that the thing is done,
As if the power and will were one;
Thus oft the cheated crowd adore,
The thriving knaves that keep them poor. [ Gay ]

Prejudices are what rule the vulgar crowd. [ Voltaire ]

Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife. [ Gray ]

I wish the crowd to feel itself well treated,
Especially since it lives and lets me live. [ Goethe ]

He is one that will not lose his cap in a crowd. [ Proverb ]

Sweet is the smile of home; the mutual look,
When hearts are of each other sure;
Sweet all the joys that crowd the household nook,
The haunt of all affections pure. [ Cowper ]

One is alone in a crowd when one suffers, or when one loves. [ Rochepedre ]

In the great inconstancy and crowd of events nothing is certain except the past. [ Seneca ]

Fly from the crowd, and be to virtue true. Content with what thou hast, though it be small. [ Chaucer ]

We tell our triumphs to the crowd, but our own hearts are the sole confidants of our sorrows. [ Bulwer Lytton ]

This is the method of genius, to ripen fruit for the crowd by those rays of whose heat they complain. [ Margaret Fuller ]

I believe this earth on which we stand is but the vestibule to glorious mansions through which a moving crowd forever press. [ Joanna Baillie ]

Perseverance and tact are the two great qualities most valuable for all men who would mount, but especially for those who have to step out of the crowd. [ Benjamin Disraeli ]

A person who is too nice an observer of the business of the crowd, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of the bees, will often be stung for his curiosity. [ Pope ]

Little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extendeth; for a crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love. [ Bacon ]

In eloquence, the great triumphs of the art are when the orator is lifted above himself; when consciously he makes himself the mere tongue of the occasion and the hour, and says what cannot but be said. Hence the term abandonment, to describe the self-surrender of the orator. Not his will, but the principle on which he is horsed, the great connection and crisis of events, thunder in the ear of the crowd. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]

The man who makes a success of an important venture never waits for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticised. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can't be done. [ C. V. White ]
