Famous quotes containing the words nobility and/or history:

“The nobility of a human being is strictly independent of that of his convictions.”

“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
