Sid Bernstein

I loved England's gentility and its civility. I'm from the Bronx, with a Bronx accent. I love the beauty of its language, the ways it's spoken. I love the green grass of England and the flowers.

Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business. But what is most truly is is disguised combat. For all its gentility, its almost leisurely pace, baseball is violence under wraps.

Gentility is what is left over from rich ancestors after the money is gone.

English Dramatist

Gentility often reflects a calm, composed demeanor in social settings, not just fancy clothes or speech.

Contextual Elegance

In some cultures, gentility may be linked to old-fashioned or overly formal behaviors, so use cautiously.

Cultural Perception

Gentility can sometimes mask true feelings or intentions, used as a social strategy.

Not Always Sincere

Gentility often implies belonging to a higher social class or possessing old money elegance.

Upper-Class Connotations

True gentility involves genuine courtesy and respect, not merely performing etiquette routines.

Authenticity Matters

 - They begin life as ghosts, gently coursing through a solitary existence, but slowly, their gentility turns to rage.
