Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.

To do a perfectly unselfish act for selfish motives.

Gallantry to women--the sure road to their favor--is nothing but the appearance of extreme devotion to all their wants and wishes, a delight in their satisfaction, and a confidence in yourself as being able to contribute toward it.

To give up your seat in a car to a woman, and tread on your neighbor's foot to get even.

Personally, I quite like that. Such stupid gallantry.
Yes. I like that a lot.

Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong.
