tHe true gentleman
The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good
will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal
to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious
of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his
inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels
him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before
power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks
with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed
follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feeling of others,
rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man
with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.
- John Walter Wayland
