It is almost the definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.
A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.
A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.
A gentleman is any man who wouldn't hit a woman with his hat on.
Whether the gentleman is capable or not, he is loved all the same; conversely the petty man is loathed all the same.
A man was defined, in my father's circles, by what he could bear, the pain he could shrug off, the warmth or comfort he could deny himself.
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.
The only infallible rule we know is, that the man who is always talking about being a gentleman never is one.
The final test of a gentleman is his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him.
A man of pleasure is a man of pains.
