"Courtesy is as much a mark of a
gentleman as courage."
~ Theodore Roosevelt
My mother was
getting ready for an overseas trip recently.
She remarked to someone in the building in which she lives that she
needed to buy an electrical adapter. A
gentleman who also lives in the building overheard her and said that he would
be heading out the next day on several errands and would be happy to get her
one. She thanked him and said that she
would accept his help only if he let her pay for it. Predictably, the response was absolutely not.
