Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or person:
“Yes, while I live, no rich or noble knave
Shall walk the world, in credit, to his grave.
To Virtue only and her friends, a friend,
The world beside may murmur, or commend.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“It is easier for an artful Man, who is not in Love, to persuade his Mistress he has a Passion for her, and to succeed in his Pursuits, than for one who loves with the greatest Violence. True Love hath ten thousand Griefs, Impatiencies and Resentments, that render a Man unamiable in the Eyes of the Person whose Affection he sollicits.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
