Noble Truth

Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or truth:

    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)

    Glorious the northern lights astream;
    Glorious the song, when God’s the theme
    Glorious the thunder’s roar:
    Glorious hosanna from the den;
    Glorious the catholic amen;
    Glorious the martyr’s gore:

    Glorious—more glorious is the crown
    Of him that brought salvation down
    By meekness, called thy Son;
    Thou that stupendous truth believed,
    And now the matchless deed’s achieved,
    Determined, Dared, and Done.
    Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
