Noble Lords

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or lords:

    Heaven grant him now some noble nook,
    For, rest his soul! he’d rather be
    Genteelly damn’d beside a Duke,
    Than sav’d in vulgar company.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    From scenes like these old Scotia’s grandeur springs,
    That makes her loved at home, revered abroad;
    Princes and lords are but the breath of kings,
    “An honest man’s the noblest work of God!”
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
