Nobly Quotes

Fiction, with its preference for what is small and might elsewhere seem irrelevant; its facility for smuggling us into another skin and allowing us to live a new life there; its painstaking devotion to what without it might go unnoticed and unseen; its respect for contingency, and the unlikely and odd; its willingness to expose itself to moments of low, almost animal being and make them nobly illuminating, can deliver truths we might not otherwise stumble on Picture Quote #1

Why should you row a boat race? Why endure the long months of pain in preparation for a fierce half hour that will leave you all but dead? Does anyone ask the question? Is there anyone who would not go through all the costs, and more, for the moment when anguish breaks into triumph or even for the glory of having nobly lost? Is life less than a boat race? If a man will give the blood in his body to win the one, will he spend all the might of his soul to prevail in the other? Picture Quote #1

Men do not care how nobly they live, but only how long, although it is within the reach of every man to live nobly, but within no man’s power to live long Picture Quote #1

Examine your experience of the incarnation so far and realistically add up the moments of happiness and unhappiness and you tell me, oh somewhat vaguely nobly born, you tell me, what has it been like for you? Picture Quote #1

He who freely magnifies what hath been nobly done, and fears not to declares as freely what might be done better, gives ye the best covenant of his fidelity Picture Quote #1

Give nobly to indigent merit, and do not refuse your charity even to those who have not merit but their misery Picture Quote #1

Nothing is ever done beautifully which is done in rivalship: or nobly, which is done in pride Picture Quote #1

It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly Picture Quote #1

Better to be the failure who nobly strived than the success who never really had to Picture Quote #1

It is within the power of every man to live his life nobly, but of no man to live forever. Yet so many of us hope that life will go on forever, and so few aspire to live nobly Picture Quote #1
