Text Quotes
Suffering has a noble purpose: the evolution of consciousness and the burning up of the ego  (Noble Quotes) Certainly it is one of our sweetest experiences that when we are touched by some noble affection or pure joy, we remember the dead most tenderly, and feel more powerfully drawn to them  (Noble Quotes) Literature is the most noble of professions. In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man  (Noble Quotes) The departure from the world is regarded not as a fault, but as the first step into that noble path at the remotest turn of which illumination is to be won  (Noble Quotes) Poetry has no goal other than itself; it can have no other, and no poem will be so great, so noble, so truly worthy of the name of poem, than one written uniquely for the pleasure of writing a poem  (Noble Quotes) Let us live so we do not regret years of inertia and ignorance, so when we die we can say all of our energy was dedicated to the noble liberation of the human mind and spirit, beginning with my own  (Noble Quotes) Noble and manly music invigorates the spirit, strengthens the wavering man, and incites him to great and worthy deeds  (Noble Quotes) The man who forgets does not forgive, he only loses the remembrance; forgiveness is the offspring of a noble heart, of a generous mind, whilst forgetfulness is only the result of a weak memory, or of an easy carelessness  (Noble Quotes) It is the highest of earthly honors to be descended from the great and good. They alone cry out against a noble ancestry who have none of their own  (Noble Quotes) It is some fundamental certainty which a noble soul has about itself, something which is not to be sought, is not to be found, and perhaps, also, is not to be lost. The noble soul has reverence for itself  (Noble Quotes) The most noble cause known to man is the liberation of the human mind and spirit  (Noble Quotes) ... at the bottom of all these noble races the beast of prey, the splendid blond beast, prowling about avidly in search of spoil and victory  (Noble Quotes) One of the greatest, most noble, and most sublime poems which either this age or nation has produced  (Noble Quotes) We may not know whether our understanding is correct, or whether our sentiments are noble, but the air of the day surrounds us like spring which spreads over the land without our aid or notice  (Noble Quotes) Those who are socially inclined will find a new power to help humanity through the lessons of books written by noble and gifted people  (Noble Quotes) To my mind that literature is best and most enduring which is characterized by a noble simplicity  (Noble Quotes) No matter what rallying cries the orators give to the idiots who fight, no matter what noble purposes they assign to wars, there is never but one reason for a war. And that is money. All wars are in reality money squabbles  (Noble Quotes) Those who recognize the existence of suffering, its cause, its remedy, and its cessation, have fathomed the four noble truths. They will walk in the right path  (Noble Quotes) When someone sets out to be controversial or provocative or shocking as an end in itself, I don’t think that’s a noble goal  (Noble Quotes) One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum, in which men steal through existence, like sluggish waters through a marsh, without either honor or observation  (Noble Quotes) To attempt the destruction of our passions is the height of folly. What a noble aim is that of the zealot who tortures himself like a madman in order to desire nothing, love nothing, feel nothing, and who, if he succeeded, would end up a complete monster!  (Noble Quotes) And I find chopsticks frankly distressing. Am I alone in thinking it odd that a people ingenious enough to invent paper, gunpowder, kites and any number of other useful objects, and who have a noble history extending back 3,000 years haven’t yet worked out that a pair of knitting needles is no way to capture food?  (Noble Quotes) 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  (Noble Quotes) I wish I was a despot that I might save the noble, the beautiful trees that are daily falling sacrifice to the cupidity of their owners, or the necessity of the poor. The unnecessary felling of a tree, perhaps the growth of centuries, seems to me a crime little short of murder  (Noble Quotes) A successful villain should have all these things at his or her villainous fingertips, or else give up villainy altogether and try to lead a life of decency, integrity, and kindness, which is much more challenging and noble, if not always quite as exciting  (Noble Quotes) If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don’t bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he’s a good man  (Noble Quotes) How noble and good everyone could be if, every evening before falling asleep, they were to recall to their minds the events of the whole day and consider exactly what has been good and bad. Then without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day  (Noble Quotes) It didn’t make you noble to step away from something that wasn’t working, even if you thought you were the reason for the malfunction. Especially then. It just made you a quitter. Because if you were the problem, chances were you could also be the solution. The only way to find out was to take another shot  (Noble Quotes) My son, be worthy of your noble name, worthily borne by your ancestors for over five hundred years. Remember it’s by courage, and courage alone, that a nobleman makes his way nowadays. Don’t be afraid of opportunities, and seek out adventures. My son, all I have to give you is fifteen ecus, my horse, and the advice you’ve just heard. Make the most of these gifts, and have a long, happy life  (Noble Quotes) These wonderful narrations inspired me with strange feelings. Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous, and magnificent, yet so vicious and base? He appeared at one time a mere scion of the evil principle and at another as all that can be conceived of noble and godlike  (Noble Quotes)
