Noblesse Oblige
Honor, loyalty, trustworthiness, honesty, grace under fire, patience, undeserved forgiveness, purity of purpose and kindness
are among those rare but durable virtues always imbedded in any noble family's coat of arms. Rare today indeed.

Whole point... 'Rare today indeed' encompasses our lifetimes.
Edit: By the way, in the TN Valley just now and wondering if any of this week's big weather came close to your home.
Edit 2: Neither royal blood lines nor celebrity status equates with nobility. You know that. Face it... there is vastly
more nobility in the unsung, salt of the earth invisible heroes on Main Street any day of the week. Agree?
