Noble Truth

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or truth:

    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)

    I could better eat with one who did not respect the truth or the laws, than with a sloven and unpresentable person. Moral qualities rule the world, but at shorter distances, the senses are despotic.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
