It Is A Grand Old Name, That Of Gentleman, And Has Been Recognized As A Rank And Power In All Stages Of Society. To Possess This Character Is A Dignity Of Itself, Commanding The Instinctive Homage Of Every Generous Mind, And Those Who Will Not Bow To Titular Rank Will Yet Do Homage To The Gentleman.

It's Not Enough To Have A Dream, Unless You're Willing To Pursue It. It's Not Enough To Know What's Right, Unless You're Strong Enough To Do It.

It's Not Enough To Reach For Love, Unless You Care Enough To Give It Men Who Are Resolved To Find A Way For Themselves Will Always Find Opportunities Enough; And If They Do Not Find Them, They Will Make Them.
