The compleat gentleman’s rectitude does not prohibit him from having a sense of humor. His Stoic sense of life and his urbane education ought to give him wit.

A man is not made chivalrous by an extensive education. A college degree and advanced academic achievement are as often impediments to chivalry as they are inducements to it.

A gentleman is contemplative in that he never ceases to refine his sense of reality.

chivalry demands that a man respect a woman’s wishes. Needless to say, this does not mean that a compleat gentleman is his lady’s lackey.

A compleat gentleman is a man who tries to do what is right and honorable in any given situation. He seeks harmony with the laws of God, or nature, and of man.

A gentleman takes a woman on her own terms, and in doing so he puts the lie to ideological drivel about oppression.
