A gentleman...................

When a gentleman outgrows his clothes, he gives them away to charity.  He does not pretend that someday he will lose weight.  When, and if, he does lose weight, he certainly will not want to celebrate by wearing out-of-date coats and trousers.

After he has sent an e-mail message to a personal friend, a gentleman does not assume that his friend will respond to him within twenty-four hours.

A gentleman may not be able to dance a samba, but he should be capable of a box step, which is almost like not dancing at all.
