No young lady can be justified in falling in love before the gentleman's love is declared, it must be very improper that a young lady should dream of a gentleman before the gentleman is first known to have dreamt of her.

Jane Austen

No gentleman ever discusses any relationship with a lady.

Keith Miller

Beau Brummell

A true gentleman never leaves his lady.

Alessandro Del Piero
