Being a gentleman or a lady are but ideals, from which we all lapse from time to time. The quality of a person's character therefore depends on whether one knows:
(1) what constitutes gentlemanly or ladylike behaviour;
and
(2) when one has fallen short.
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
