Real nobility is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.

Everyone has something that blocks us from the full experience and expression of our nobility.

I believe in the nobility of entertaining people and I take great, great pride that people are willing to give me two or three hours of their busy lives.

This searching and doubting and vacillating where nothing is clear but the arrogance of quest. I, too, had such noble ideas when I was still a boy.

I used to think I had ambition... but now I'm not so sure. It may have been only discontent. They're easily confused.

There's nobility in hard work, traditional values.

I'm a person who's always been interested in politics and thought it was a very noble occupation.

I never saw myself as being ambitious, I saw myself as being in love with the profession. I'm a people person. I love to get to know different kinds of people.

I developed a passion for the Middle Ages the same way some people develop a passion for coconuts.

Nobility of spirit has more to do with simplicity than ostentation, wisdom rather than wealth, commitment rather than ambition.
