Gentleman - C.S. Lewis- Mere Christianity

This quote was added by user10739
A gentleman, once it has been spiritualized and refined out of its old coarse, objective sense, means hardly more than a man whom the speaker likes. As a result, gentleman is now a useless word. We had lots of terms of approval already, so it was not needed for that use.
