God took pattern after a pine tree and built you noble.
Zora Neale Hurston
Image
Thus, the word is more essential than cement. Thus, the word is not a small nothing. In this manner, noble people begin to grow, and their word will break cement.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova
Image
What does labor want? We want more schoolhouses and less jails more books and less arsenals more learning and less vice more leisure and less greed more justice and less revenge in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures, to make manhood more noble, womanhood more beautiful, and childhood more happy and bright.
Samuel Gompers
Image
Nothing is more stimulating and more salutary to (or for) the inner (or inward) development than the exemple of men devoted to the good. It is in the company of men pursuing a same ideal that the still weavering (or unsteady) soul can set oneself (se fixer, Fr) and stick to (or attach to) everything that is noble and generous.
African Spir
Image
A state is not a mere society, having a common place, established for the prevention of mutual crime and for the sake of exchange. Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not mere companionship.
Aristotle
Image
Noble spirits are heterodox.
Kedar Joshi
Image
Descartes constructed as noble a road of science, from the point at which he found geometry to that to which he carried it, as Newton himself did after him. ... He carried this spirit of geometry and invention into optics, which under him became a completely new art.
Voltaire
Image
Those who are socially inclined will find a new power to help humanity through the lessons of books written by noble and gifted people.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
It is in the faculty of noble, disinterested, unselfish love that lies the true gift and power of womanhood,--a power which makes us, not the equal of men (I never care to claim such equality), but their equivalents more than their equivalents in a moral sense.
Frances Power Cobbe
Image
The presence of a noble nature, generous in its wishes, ardent in its charity, changes the lights for us: we begin to see things again in their larger, quieter masses, and to believe that we too can be seen and judged in the wholeness of our character.
George Eliot
Image
They have exiled me now from their society and I am pleased, because humanity does not exile except the one whose noble spirit rebels against despotism and oppression. He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom
Khalil Gibran
Image
Just as the dawn is the forerunner of the arising of the sun, so true friendship is the forerunner of the arising of the noble eightfold path.
Gautama Buddha
Image
So we must lay it down that the association which is a state exists not for the purpose of living together but for the sake of noble actions.
Aristotle
Image
A lot of people just go to movies that feed into their preexisting and not so noble needs and desires: They just go to action pictures, and things like that.
Roger Ebert
Image
Anyone with a point of view loves it when they sway someone who disagrees with their point of view. I don't think that's a noble endeavor, though. And I don't think, as an endeavor, you really ever have a chance.
Todd Snider
Image
But knowledge to their eyes her ample page Rich with the spoils of time did ne'er unroll Chill Penury repressed their noble rage, And froze the genial current of the soul.
Thomas Gray
Image
While boasting of our noble deeds we're careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.
Horace Greeley
Image
The noble person who has eaten of his lord's bounty should die in his lord's battles to return to one's home dead and wrapped in a horse's hide is a happy fate. Am I the sort of people to bring to nought the grand designs of my country?
Zhou Yu
Image
Count not the cost of honour to the dead!The tribute that a mighty nation paysTo those who loved her well in former daysMeans more than gratitude for glories fledFor every noble man that she hath bred,Lives in the bronze and marble that we raise,Immortalised by art's immortal praise,To lead our sons as he our fathers led.
Henry Van Dyke
Image
A noble cause doth ease much a grievous case.
Philip Sidney
Image
The whole underside of our society has always been violence and still is. Churches, laws - everybody seems to think that man is a noble savage. But he's only an animal. A meat-eating, talking animal. Recognize it. He also has grace and love and beauty. But don't say to me we're not violent.
Sam Peckinpah
Image
The noble grotesque involves the true appreciation of beauty.
John Ruskin
Image
Man is mortal. Everyone has to die some day or the other. But one must resolve to lay down one's life in enriching the noble ideals of self-respect and in bettering one's human life. We are not slaves. Nothing is more disgraceful for a brave man than to live life devoid of self-respect.
B. R. Ambedkar
Image
Nothing is bigger than life. There's nothing noble in death. What's noble about never seeing the sunshine again? What's noble about having your legs and arms blown off? What's noble about being an idiot? What's noble about being blind and deaf and dumb? What's noble about being dead?
Dalton Trumbo
