Robert John Seton
2 quotes
“There is no civilized people, whether living under republican or monarchical institutions, but has some kind of aristocracy. It may take the form of birth, of intellect, or of wealth; but it is there. Of these manifestations of inequality among men, the noblest is that of Mind, the most romantic that of Blood, the meanest that of Money. Therefore, while a man may have a decent regard for his lineage, he should avoid whatever implies a contempt for others not so well born.”
