I call it nothing to have the ball at your feet if you are born with it there. It is so easy to be a lord if your father is one before you, - and so easy to marry a pretty girl if you can make her a countess. But to make yourself a lord, or to be as good as a lord, when nothing has been born to you, - I call that very much.

— Anthony Trollope, English novelist (1815-1882)
