Noble Person

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)

    Why is it so painful to watch a person sink? Because there is something unnatural in it, for nature demands personal progress, evolution, and every backward step means wasted energy.
