"A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about"

- Fyodor Dostoevsky

About this Quote

This quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky speaks to the concept of a true gentleman. A gentleman needs to not be specified by his wealth or possessions, however rather by his character and attitude. Even if a gentleman loses whatever he owns, he should disappoint any feeling. Cash should not be a priority for a gentleman, and he needs to not be extremely concerned with it. Instead, a gentleman must concentrate on his character and how he deals with others. He ought to be simple and generous, and not be driven by greed or material belongings. A gentleman should be content with what he has, and not be overly concerned with what he does not have. A gentleman should be dignified and composed, no matter the scenarios.
