Noble Person

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or person:

    “Peter is poor,” said noble Paul,
    “And I have always been his friend:
    And, though my means to give are small,
    At least I can afford to lend.
    How few, in this cold age of greed,
    Do good, except on selfish grounds!
    But I can feel for Peter’s need,
    And I WILL LEND HIM FIFTY POUNDS!”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Whatever a person may pray for, that person prays for a miracle. Every prayer comes down to this: Almighty God, grant that two times two not equal four.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
