Here's a quote from The marriage of Figaro just so you see how funny it is. (perhaps? yes?) Basically, Figaro is a servant to an idiotic Spanish aristocrat and he's giving him a piece of his mind:

"No, Monsieur le Comte, you shan't have her! You shan't have her. Just because you are a great noble, you think you are a great genius! Nobility, a fortune, a rank, appointments to office: all this makes a man so proud! What did you do to earn all this? You took the trouble to get born - nothing more. Moreover, you're really a pretty ordinary fellow. While as for me, lost in the crowd, I've had to use more knowledge, more brains, just to keep alive than your likes have to spend on governing Spain and the Empire for a century. And you want to contest with me."
