Local Nobility

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or nobility:

“The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The army is the true nobility of our country.”
—Napoleon Bonaparte III (1808–1873)
