Noble Truth

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or truth:

“Most observers of the French Revolution, especially the clever and noble ones, have explained it as a life-threatening and contagious illness. They have remained standing with the symptoms and have interpreted these in manifold and contrary ways. Some have regarded it as a merely local ill. The most ingenious opponents have pressed for castration. They well noticed that this alleged illness is nothing other than the crisis of beginning puberty.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

“Forget not yet the tried intent
Of such a truth as I have meant;
My great travail so gladly spent
Forget not yet!”
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
