"O lady, nobility is thine, and thy..." - Quote by Euripides

“Men honor property above all else; it has the greatest power in human life.”

“Moderation, the noblest gift of Heaven.”

“To die with glory, if one has to die at all, is still, I think, pain for the dier.”

“Noblesse oblige; or, superior advantages bind you to larger generosity.”

“I hold it cowardice To rest mistrustful where a noble heart Hath pawned an open hand in sign of love.”

“True nobility is exempt from fear.”

“We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate. The broad education will, therefore, transmit to one not only the accumulated knowledge of the race but also the accumulated experience of social living. If we are not careful, our colleges will produce a group of close-minded, unscientific, illogical propagandists, consumed with immoral acts. Be careful, brethren! Be careful, teachers!”

“…a lady of what is commonly called an uncertain temper --a phrase which being interpreted signifies a temper tolerably certain to make everybody more or less uncomfortable.”

“A pipe gives a wise man time to think and a fool something to stick in his mouth.”
