Noble Plunkett

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or plunkett:

    Each say following another, either hastening or putting off our death—what pleasure does it bring? I count that man worthless who is cheered by empty hopes. No, a noble man must either live or die well.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    All pathways by His feet are worn,
    His strong heart stirs the ever-beating sea;
    His crown of thorns is twined with every thorn;
    His cross is every tree.
    —Joseph Mary Plunkett (1887–1916)
