A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Many men are contemptuous of riches; few can give them away.
If a man has money, it is usually a sign, too, that he knows how to take care of it; don't imagine his money is easy to get simply because he has plenty of it.
I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man, I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other 'gentleman' stuff is a chess game, especially these days.
A man is usually more careful of his money than he is of his principles.
For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
But men are so full of greed today, they'll sell anything for a little piece of money.
A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.
A man is usually more careful of his money than of his principles.
When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.
More men are ruined by underestimating the value of money than by overestimating it. Let us, then, abandon the affectation of despising money, and frankly own its value.
