Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or person:

    She might, so noble from head
    To great shapely knees

    At Pallas Athena’s side....

    An American cannot converse, but he can discuss, and his talk falls into a dissertation. He speaks to you as if he was addressing a meeting; and if he should chance to become warm in the discussion, he will say “Gentlemen” to the person with whom he is conversing.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
