Noble Person

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or person:

    To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A person doesn’t die when he should but when he can.
    —Gabriel García Márquez (b. 1928)
