A GENTLEMAN'S CODE

"The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe."

John Walter Wayland (Virginia 1899)

Do not Doubt yourself

Whenever you find yourself doubting if you can go on, just remember how far you've come.
Remember everything you have faced,
all the battles you have won,
and all the fears you have overcome.

Then raise your head high, and forge on ahead,
knowing that YOU GOT THIS!
With God by your side every thing is possible.
