Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or person:
“My dear young friend ... civilization has absolutely no need of nobility or heroism. These things are symptoms of political inefficiency. In a properly organized society like ours, nobody has any opportunities for being noble or heroic. Conditions have got to be thoroughly unstable before the occasion can arise.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“One person tells an idle story; ten thousand repeat it as truth.”
—Chinese proverb.
