Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society At night a candles brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man Takes more than a license for a gun Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can A gentleman will walk but never run
If, manners maketh man as someone said Then hes the hero of the day It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile Be yourself no matter what they say
