  5. A quotation from Judith Martin

       DEAR MISS MANNERS: When does a gentleman offer his arm to a lady as they are walking down the street together?
     
       GENTLE READER: Strictly speaking, only when he can be practical assistance to her. That is, when the way is steep, dark, crowded, or puddle-y. However, it is rather a cozy juxtaposition, less compromising than walking hand in hand, and rather enjoyable for people who are fond of each other, so Miss Manners allows some leeway in interpreting what is of practical assistance. One wouldn’t want a lady to feel unloved walking down the street, any more than one would want her to fall off the curb.

    Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
    “Miss Manners,” syndicated column (1979-04-19)

  6. نعم ، هناك اقتباس على هذا النحو ، أعطني أمًا جيدة ، وسأعطيك قائدًا جيدًا.

    كل #أم مسؤولة عن مثل هذا النوع من الرجال

    إذا لم يكن #الآباء مثالًا رائعًا لأبنائهم ، فلن يكونوا مثل هذا #الرجل #النبيل هنا.

    Yes, there is a quote that goes like, Give me a good #mother, and I'll give you a good leader.

    Every mother is responsible for such #kind of men

    If #parents weren't a great example to their children, they wouldn't be such a #gentleman here.
