What does it mean to be a ‘gentleman’..?

“Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time.”
Luigi Pirandello

“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.”
Anna Kendrick

“A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone’s feelings unintentionally.”
Oscar Wilde

“We have these rules, the ‘hero rules.’ Like, a hero doesn’t slouch. A hero walks proudly with his head up. A hero walks with a purpose. A hero’s always a gentleman.”
John Singleton

“The final test of a gentleman is his respect for those who can be of no possible service to him.”
William Lyon Phelps

“I’ve never heard my dad say a bad word about anybody. He always keeps his emotions in check and is a true gentleman. I was taught that losing it was indulgent, a selfish act.”
Hugh Jackman
