Alexandre DumasMy son, be worthy of your noble name, worthily borne by your ancestors for over five hundred years. Remember itโs by courage, and courage alone, that a nobleman makes his way nowadays. Donโt be afraid of opportunities, and seek out adventures. My son, all I have to give you is fifteen ecus, my horse, and the advice youโve just heard. Make the most of these gifts, and have a long, happy life.
Alexandre Dumas
