“O The irony of man, he thinks he's past generation did not repeat the same way of thinking, either intelligently or foolishly.”
A Gentleman“A gentleman does things no gentleman should do in a way only a gentleman can.”
Luigi Banzini“About this business of being a gentleman: I paid so heavily for the fourteen years of my gentleman’s education that I feel entitled, now and then, to get some sort of return.”
Robert Graves, Goodbye to All That“I believe being a ‘gentleman’ goes well beyond holding the door for a girl and letting her go before you. It’s about being vulnerable for her. I think that when it comes to the way we treat women, it’s a good idea to look to the way Jesus treated women. He laid His life down for His bride,He sacrificed for her,He lowered Himself for her,He was vulnerable for her.We must love women vulnerably in the same way that Jesus loved His bride vulnerably. Being a gentleman is far more than being caring and thoughtful, it’s about possessing sacrificial and vulnerable Christ-like characteristics. I don’t know if it’s possible to be a gentleman without knowing and representing the character of Jesus.”
Cole Ryan“A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky“Being a Gentleman, has more to do with hiding his flaws, than exhibiting the virtues!”
Ramana Pemmaraju“I would have grown up to be a gentleman adventurer if I were more of a gentleman.”
Alex Potvin“Propriety of manners and consideration for others are the two main characteristics of a gentleman.”
Benjamin Disraeli“If I weren’t a gentleman, I would pound you into the ground right now.” He unfisted his hands in order to dismiss the temptation.”
