1. A Gentleman must be Modest.

A gentleman does not care for the attention of the world and will give praise wherever it is due, regardless of who is there to see it.

He does not rest on his laurels, for he knows that there is always more to learn. If it were only up to him, all the good deeds the gentleman does would go unnoticed, because he knows that actions always speak louder than words.

He is humble in nature, modest in whatever he does, and confident enough in himself to act without approval and to keep things hidden for they are natural and not worthy of praise.

2. A Gentleman must have Integrity.

A gentleman is just as honest, direct and kind when he is around people as when he is alone.

What he does behind the scenes is not any less important or less valuable than what he does when he is the center of attention, and it is definitely not any different.

What you see is what you get; a gentleman does not need to pretend to be someone else, to fake who is or hide behind a mask.

He cares for himself enough to be the same no matter where he goes or what he does, for he takes pride in who he is.
