Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or families:

    “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)

    “Children from humble families must be taught how to command just as other children must be taught how to obey.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
