2. Let us not rest contented in being born of noble Parents, but let those that are nobly born, labour to be nobly minded; For it is the noble minde makes a man noble, and not the noble title. It is a notable saying of Gregory the great, A King may command his Subjects to call a Lyon a Lamb, but he cannot make a Lyon to be a Lamb; A King may give a man noble Titles, but he cannot make the man a noble man, because he cannot give him a noble and vertuous minde. And therefore you that are nobly born must labour to be nobly and vertuously minded. |
