ARISTOCRACY quotes
Aristocracy has three successive ages: the age of superiorities, that of privileges, and that of vanities.—Having passed out of the first, it degenerates in the second, and dies away in the third.
And lords, whose parents were the Lord knows who.
Some will always be above others.—Destroy the inequality today, and it will appear again tomorrow.
A social life that worships money or makes social distinction its aim, is, in spirit, an attempted aristocracy.
Among the masses, even in revolutions, aristocracy must ever exist.—Destroy it in the nobility, and it becomes centred in the rich and powerful Houses of Commons.—Pull them down, and it still survives in the master and foreman of the workshop.
I never could believe that Providence had sent a few men into the world, ready booted and spurred to ride, and millions ready saddled and bridled to be ridden.
