No one can expect a majority to be stirred by motives other than ignoble Picture Quote #1

One of the possible reasons why we might be good is that we’re frightened, frightened of God. We want the reward in Heaven, we don’t want to go to Hell.

To conquer oneself is the best and noblest victory; to be vanquished by one’s own nature is the worst and most ignoble defeat Picture Quote #1

Democracy turns upon and devours itself. Universal suffrage, in theory the palladium of our liberties, becomes the assurance of our slavery.

Far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife Their sober wishes never learn’d to stray; Along the cool sequester’d vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way Picture Quote #1

The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men.

Just as pluck comes of breeding, so is endurance especially an attribute of the artist. Because he can stand outside himself, and (if there be nothing ignoble in them) take pleasure in his own sufferings, the artist has a huge advantage over you and me Picture Quote #1

Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall Picture Quote #1

Far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife, their sober wishes never learned to stray; Along the cool sequestered vale of life they kept the noiseless tenor of their way Picture Quote #1
