Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or estate:
“To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I ‘gin to be aweary of the sun,
And wish th’ estate o’ the world were now undone.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
