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 feelings 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
