Famous quotes containing the word nobility:

    “And nobility will not be able to help you with your love; Love does not know how to cede to ancestral images.”
    —Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

    “I have come to the conclusion that the closer people are to what may be called the front lines of government ... the easier it is to see the immediate underbrush, the individual tree trunks of the moment, and to forget the nobility the usefulness and the wide extent of the forest itself.... They forget that politics after all is only an instrument through which to achieve Government.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
