Noble Person

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or person:

    One great Society alone on Earth,
    The noble Living, and the noble Dead.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Intellectual life is international. Only a period of discouragement, an age that has given up on itself, that wants to “preserve,” that has been driven onto the defensive, can be intellectually nationalist. Such a period is essentially “conservative.” A person who has progress in his heart is international.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)
