nobility

«Tradition! We scarcely know the word anymore. We are afraid to be either proud of our ancestors or ashamed of them. We scorn nobility in name and in fact. We cling to a bourgeois mediocrity which would make it appear we are all Americans, made in the image and likeness of George Washington.»

«The ideal of brotherhood of man, the building of the Just City, is one that cannot be discarded without lifelong feelings of disappointment and loss. But, if we are to live in the real world, discard it we must. Its very nobility makes the results of its breakdown doubly horrifying, and it breaks down, as it always will, not by some external agency but because it cannot work.»
«True nobility is exempt from fear.»
«There's dignity in suffering Nobility in pain But failure is a salted wound That burns and burns again»
«They that deny a God destroy man's nobility, for certainly man is of kin to the beasts by his body; and if he is not of kin to God by his spirit, he is a base and ignoble creature»
«To win over certain people to something, it is only necessary to give it a gloss of love of humanity, nobility, gentleness, self-sacrifice -- and there is nothing you cannot get them to swallow.»
«The nobility of a human being is strictly independent of that of his convictions.»
«There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.»
«The first farmer was the first man. All historic nobility rests on the possession and use of land.»
