Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge.
William Shakespeare
The army is the true nobility of our country.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Real nobility is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.
Albert Camus
You have the right to kill me, but you don't have the right to judge me. That's life. There's nobility in that. There's focus. It's genuine. It's crystal and it's pure and it's available to everybody, so just shut your traps and put down your McDonalds, your vaccines, your Us Weekly, your TMZ and the rest of it.
Charlie Sheen
Rascals are always sociable, more's the pity! and the chief sign that a man has any nobility in his character is the little pleasure he takes in others' company.
