Noblesse oblige is a French phrase literally meaning " nobility obliges".
The
Dictionnaire de l’Académie française
defines it thus:
1.
The Oxford English Dictionary says that the term "suggests noble ancestry constrains to
honorable behavior; privilege entails to responsibility." Being a noble meant that one had
responsibilities to lead, manage and so on. One was not to simply spend one's time in
idle pursuits. a. Whoever claims to be noble must conduct himself nobly. b. (Figuratively) One must act in a fashion that conforms to one's position, and
with the reputation that one has earned.
