Noble

Famous quotes containing the word noble:

    He stood, a soldier, to the last right end,
    A perfect patriot and a noble friend,
    But most a virtuous son.
    All offices were done
    By him, so ample, full, and round
    In weight in measure, number, sound,
    As, though his age imperfect might appear,
    His life was of humanity the sphere.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    Death closes all; but something ere the end,
    Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
    Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    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)
