“To be noble, help others to succeed”

“Failure is not a hindrance for success but a noble ingredient for a sweeter fruit.”

“Selflessness. Humility. Truthfulness. These are the three marks of an honorable man.”

“love as a passion—it is our European specialty—must absolutely be of noble origin; as is well known, its invention is due to the Provencal poet-cavaliers, those brilliant, ingenious men of the “gai saber,” to whom Europe owes so much, and almost owes itself.”

“It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living.”

“It didn’t make you noble to step away from something that wasn’t working, even if you thought you were the reason for the malfunction. Especially then. It just made you a quitter. Because if you were the problem, chances were you could also be the solution. The only way to find out was to take another shot.”
