If Wellington epitomizes the English gentleman, Eisenhower epitomizes the natural American gentleman.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Englishman wants to be recognized as a gentleman, or as some other suitable species of human being, the American wants to be considered a good guy.
By the by, if the English race had done nothing else, yet if they left the world the notion of a gentleman, they would have done a great service to mankind.
A lot of these American actors have this - in my view - misplaced view that they have to look like Action Man. The trouble is, they all run the risk of being interchangeable.
If the people should elect, they will never fail to prefer some man of distinguished character, or services; some man, if he might so speak of continental reputation.
The Gentlemen of England serve under the greatest cad in Europe.
If the gentleman has ability, he is magnanimous, generous, tolerant, and straightforward, through which he opens the way to instruct others.
American men are like women.
There are two types of men: the great and the small.
An Englishmen thinks seated; a Frenchmen standing; an American pacing, an Irishman, afterwards.
Great men always pay deference to greater.
