A Gentleman and His Quiet Consideration
A gentleman is full of consideration for others, a foe to violence of opinion, and enemy of restraint, suspicion, bloom, or resentment. He is merciful, gentle and tender, avoids unseasonable topics, never seeks prominence, and suppresses his own egotism. He makes light of favors he does and seems to receive while conferring them. He is scrupulous about imputing motives and never mean or spiteful.
