A Gentleman

By William Makepeace Thackeray

A GENTLEMAN is a rarer thing than some of us think. Who of us can point out many such in this circle — men whose aims are generous, whose truth is constant and elevated; who can look the world honestly in the face, with an equal manly sympathy for the great and the small? We all know a hundred whose coats are well made, and a score who have excellent manners; but of gentlemen, how many? — Thackeray.
