A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
William Shakespeare

And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared.
Homer

Dream manfully and nobly, and thy dreams shall be prophets.
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

I am prejudiced in favor of him who, without impudence, can ask boldly. He has faith in humanity, and faith in himself. No one who is not accustomed to giving grandly can ask nobly and with boldness.
Johann Kaspar Lavater

I feel, as never before, how justly, from the dawn of history to the present time, men have paid the homage of their gratitude and admiration to the memory of those who nobly sacrifice their lives, that their fellow-men may live in safety and in honor.
Edward Everett

In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln

In revealing the workings of government that led to the Vietnam War, the newspapers nobly did precisely that which the Founders hoped and trusted they would do.
Hugo Black

Integrity of life is fame's best friend, which nobly, beyond death, shall crown in the end.
John Webster

It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly.
Bertrand Russell

It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

It should be remarked that, as the principle of liberty is better understood, and more nobly interpreted, a broader protest is made in behalf of women. As men become aware that few have had a fair chance, they are inclined to say that no women have had a fair chance.
Margaret Fuller

Men who live valiantly and die nobly have a strength and a courage from the eternal Father.
Josephus Daniels

Nevertheless there are certain peaks, canons, and clear meadow spaces which are above all compassing of words, and have a certain fame as of the nobly great to whom we give no familiar names.
Mary Austin

Nothing is ever done beautifully which is done in rivalship: or nobly, which is done in pride.
John Ruskin

Our soldiers have nobly fought to protect freedom since our country's birth, and have fought to protect those that could not protect themselves, even in foreign lands when called upon.
John Linder

Spanish alone was understood or spoken here; our friend, the countryman, stuck to us most nobly, he understood us not a bit better than the rest but saw that we were in distress and would not desert us.
George Grey

Strong, generous, and confident, she has nobly served mankind. Beware how you trifle with your marvellous inheritance, this great land of ordered liberty, for if we stumble and fall freedom and civilization everywhere will go down in ruin.
Henry Cabot Lodge

The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
Aldous Huxley

There was no indication of panic. The broken files marched back in steady step. The effort was nobly made and failed from the blows that could not be fended.
James Longstreet

True, I am young, but for souls nobly born valor doesn't await the passing of years.
Pierre Corneille
