“What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god -- the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals!”
William Shakespeare
“When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman”
Jean de la Bruyere
“No artist work is so high, so noble, so grand, so enduring, so important for all time, as the making of character is a child.”
Charlotte Saunders Cushman
“Every noble work is at first impossible.”
Thomas Carlyle
“They [Young People] have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things / and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning / all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything / they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.”
Aristotle
“His last days, a noble confrontation with death, made his life as much a work of art as his plays.”
Robert Brustein
“together we will work towards achieving this noble mission with a strong, reformed and revitalized United Nations at the centre.”
