Quote by Earl of Arran
My father told me that if you saw a man in a Rolls Royce you could be sure he was not a gentleman unless he was the chauffeur.
Summary
This quote suggests that material possessions alone do not determine a person's character or class. The speaker's father implies that a true gentleman does not flaunt their wealth in such a manner but rather conducts themselves in a more modest and humble manner. It highlights the importance of character, values, and actions over superficial displays of luxury. The presence of a gentleman behind the wheel of a Rolls Royce, rather than someone being driven, suggests that true class emerges from within, regardless of one's external appearance or possessions.
