Quote by Blaise Pascal

Noble deeds are most estimable when hidden.

Noble deeds are most estimable when hidden.

Summary

This quote suggests that acts of kindness and virtue are most admirable when they are done humbly and without seeking recognition or attention. The actions that truly make a person noble are the ones done selflessly and in secret. It implies that true virtue lies not in performing good deeds for public acclaim, but in the sincerity and purity of intention behind those deeds. Therefore, the quote highlights the notion that the inherent value of noble actions lies in the goodness of the act itself, rather than the recognition or praise that follows.

He is that one human in a thousand whose indomitable spirit will not bow. He is the one man in a thousand whose indomitable spirit cannot bow. He is the one man in a thousand who will not walk quietly to Umschlagplatz. Watch out for him, Alfred Funk, we have pushed him to the wall.
