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.

Frank Lloyd Wright (1869 - 1959)
It is nobler to declare oneself wrong than to insist on being right - especially when one is right.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900), Thus Spoke Zarathustra
I too shall lie in the dust when I am dead, but now let me win noble renown.

Homer (800 BC - 700 BC), The Iliad

Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul.

Rebecca West (1892 - 1983)
They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts.

Sir Philip Sidney (1554 - 1586)

Solon (638 BC - 559 BC)
The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to somebody else. The only real nobility is in being superior to your former self.

Whitney Young (1921 - 1971)
No one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person.

Willa Cather (1873 - 1947)
Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge.

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Titus Andronicus", Act 1 scene 2
