With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.”

“Let wealth and commerce, laws and learning die,
But leave us still our old nobility.”

John Manners, 7th Duke of Rutland (1818–1906) British politician

England's Trust, part iii, line 227, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
Context: No: by the names inscribed in History's page,
Names that are England's noblest heritage,
Names that shall live for yet unnumbered years
Shrined in our hearts with Cressy and Poictiers;
Let wealth and commerce, laws and learning die,
But leave us still our old nobility.
