Quote by Pietro Metastasio

High birth is an accident, not a virtue.


High birth is an accident, not a virtue.

Summary

This quote suggests that being born into a position of wealth or privilege is not something that individuals can take credit for or pride in, as they have no control over their own birth circumstances. It challenges the idea that being of a higher social status automatically makes someone more virtuous or deserving than others. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of personal qualities, actions, and choices, suggesting that true virtue lies in one's character and achievements rather than their inherited status.
