Aristocracy

If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men's failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal's natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?
- Thackeray, William M.
Aristocracy Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Aristocracy

1.
Actual aristocracy cannot be abolished by any law: all the law can do is decree how it is to be imparted and who is to acquire it.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

2.
Real nobility is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.
Camus, Albert

3.
A fully equipped duke costs as much to keep up as two Dreadnoughts, and dukes are just as great a terror -- and they last longer.
George, David Lloyd

4.
All that is noble is in itself of a quiet nature, and appears to sleep until it is aroused and summoned forth by contrast.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

5.
What is the use of your pedigrees?
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

6.
Nothing is quite so wretchedly corrupt as an aristocracy which has lost its power but kept its wealth and which still has endless leisure to devote to nothing but banal enjoyments. All its great thoughts and passionate energy are things of the past, and nothing but a host of petty, gnawing vices now cling to it like worms to a corpse.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

7.
Lords are lordliest in their wine.
Milton, John

8.
Aristocracy has three successive ages. First superiority s, then privileges and finally vanities. Having passed from the first, it degenerates in the second and dies in the third.
Chateaubriand, Vicomte De

9.
If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men's failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal's natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?
Thackeray, William M.

10.
I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.
Goldsmith, Oliver

11.
An aristocracy in a republic is like a chicken whose head has been cut off: it may run about in a lively way, but in fact it is dead.
Mitford, Nancy

12.
A degenerate nobleman is like a turnip. There is nothing good of him but that which is underground.
Saying, English

13.
Aristocracy is always cruel.
Phillips, Wendell

14.
Those comfortably padded lunatic asylums which are known, euphemistically, as the stately homes of England.
Woolf, Virginia

15.
It is nobler to be good, and it is nobler to teach others to be good -- and less trouble!
Twain, Mark
