Always treat ladies with the greatest respect

“Always treat ladies with the greatest respect. Do this wherever you meet them. Show them that you regard them not as equals, but as superiors. Bestow upon them those little attentions at home and abroad which go so far toward making them happy. Offer to carry their bundles along the street, to give them a seat in the crowded car, to speak to the conductor for them, and the like; they will appreciate your kindness, and vote you a splendid young man. Do these things in an unselfish spirit, without looking for a reward. Show the same attentions to young and old, married and single,…But aside from all this, reverence a woman for what she is in herself.” (From Bill Bennett’s, “The Book of Man”, p. 411)
