Famous quotes containing the word nobility:

    “If there be no nobility of descent in a nation, all the more indispensable is it that there should be nobility of ascent—a character in them that bear rule, so fine and high and pure, that as men come within the circle of its influence, they involuntarily pay homage to that which is the one pre-eminent distinction, the Royalty of Virtue.”
    —Henry Codman Potter (1835–1908)

    “And nobility will not be able to help you with your love; Love does not know how to cede to ancestral images.”
    —Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

    “The nobility of a human being is strictly independent of that of his convictions.”
    —Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
