Trail

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
“A man asked to define the essential characteristics of
a gentleman—using the term in it’s widest sense—-would
reply, (The w.U to put himself in the place of others; the
horror of forcing others into positions from which he would
himself recoil; the power to do what seems to be right, without
considering what others may say or think,” —John Galsworthy
