> Whatever Happened to Noblesse Oblige?–The Imaginative Conservative - [https://t.co/Ucik1Fgjef](https://t.co/Ucik1Fgjef?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)

"Hampy lived out the principle of *noblesse oblige*–which is a fancy way of saying, “To whom much is given much shall be required.” Aristocrats who were responsible stewards of their wealth knew their duty was to help the whole community with their time, talent and treasure."

I like that principle: *noblesse oblige*. It's the motto of the high school National Honor Society. My four oldest children all got inducted, as did Marie. I didn't. That means, I tell them, that it's their duty to serve me.

I've gotten great mileage out of my plebeian status.
