Question

There are men of low rank who strain themselves to bursting to pass for gentlemen, and high gentlemen who, one would fancy, were dying to pass for men of low rank; the former raise themselves by their ambition or by their virtues, the latter debase themselves by their lack of spirit or by their vices; and one has need of experience and discernment to distinguish these two kinds of gentlemen, so much alike in name and so different in conduct."

Accepted Answer

Hombres bajos hay que revientan por parecer caballeros, y caballeros altos hay que parece que aposta mueren por parecer hombres bajos; aquéllos se llevantan o con la ambición o con la virtud, éstos se abajan o con la flojedad o con el vicio; y es menester aprovecharnos del conocimiento discreto para distinguir estas dos maneras de caballeros, tan parecidos en los nombres y tan distantes en las acciones.
