“My biggest judge of character is how people treat staff and service workers, for example, wait staff.”
Yup. I think that is a very legitimate barometer of character.
“Yup. I think that is a very legitimate barometer of character.”
So did Robert E. Lee.
“The forbearing use of power does not only form a touchstone, but the manner in which an individual enjoys certain advantages over others, is a test of a true gentleman. The power which the strong have over the weak, the magistrate over the citizen, the employer over the employed, the educated over the unlettered, the experienced over the confiding, even the clever over the silly; the forbearing and inoffensive use of all this power or authority, or a total abstinence from it when the case admits it, will show the gentleman in a plain light. The gentleman does not needlessly and unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He cannot only forgive, he can forget; and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character, which imparts sufficient strength to let the past be but the past. A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others.”
Yup. I think that is a very legitimate barometer of character.
