“Chivalry: It's the little boy that kisses my hand, the young man who holds the door open for me, and the old man who tips his hat to me. None of it is a reflection of me, but a reflection of them.”
― Donna Lynn Hope

“As a Texan, I say ma'm and sir to my age contemporaries and open doors for anyone that I can. This goes for men, too, though it is appreciated when they beat me to it and disappointing when they don't.”
― Tiffany Madison

“No one has the rights to summon you. Only Stardust. And that because she’s your mother and not the queen.”
― Andri E. Elia, Yildun: Worldmaker of Yand

“In marriage, we’re equals. You’re not only a babymaker; I didn’t need to marry you if it was only for that. You’re my life partner. The whole nine yards of it.”
― Andri E. Elia, Yildun: Worldmaker of Yand

“The most part of all princes have more delight in warlike manners and feats of chivalry than in the good feats of peace.”
― Sir Thomas More

“The only thing I want more than you, is to do right by you.”
― Angela N. Blount, Once Upon an Ever After

“It is hard to feel safe and comfortable when the only measures for what is safe and comfortable are normative ideas you don't abide by.”

“Lovers and warriors are not bound by the rules of fair play.”
― Wayne Gerard Trotman, Veterans of the Psychic Wars

“In medieval times, contrary to popular belief, most knights were bandits, mercenaries, lawless brigands, skinners, highwaymen, and thieves. The supposed chivalry of Charlemagne and Roland had as much to do with the majority of medieval knights as the historical Jesus with the temporal riches and hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, or any church for that matter. Generally accompanied by their immoral entourage or servants, priests, and whores, they went from tourney to tourney like a touring rock and roll band, sports team, or gang of South Sea pirates. Court to court, skirmish to skirmish, rape to rape. Fighting as the noble's substitution for work.”
― Tod Wodicka, All Shall Be Well; And All Shall Be Well; And All Manner of Things Shall Be Well

“I did a research assignment on life in the Middle Ages only last year. I found the era fascinating, all that chivalry and court romance. But I never pictured anything as poor as this village. This is the pits. There's no romance here, definitely no chivary. And it stinks--of sweat and smoke and sewage.”
― Marianne Curley, Old Magic

“I remembered a definition of chivalry I'd heard once: a man protecting a woman against every man but himself.”
― James Anderson, The Never-Open Desert Diner

“The anarch sticks to facts, not ideas. He suffers not for facts but because of them, and usually through his own fault, as in a traffic accident. Certainly, there are unforeseeable things â€� maltreatments. However, I believe I have attained a certain degree of self-distancing that allows me to regard this as an accident.”
― Ernst Jünger, Eumeswil

“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good Knight of Jesus Christ. No man holding knighthood to God, wrappeth himself with worldly needs, that he please to him, to whom he hath proved himself. For he that fighteth in battle, shall not be crowned, but he fight lawfully.”
― Paul the Apostle, 2 Timothy KJV: King James Version

“To be properly educated, one must reject contemporary pedagogical enthusiasms.”
― Brad Miner, The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry

“A gentleman is contemplative in that he never ceases to refine his sense of reality.”
― Brad Miner, The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry

“A man is not made chivalrous by an extensive education. A college degree and advanced academic achievement are as often impediments to chivalry as they are inducements to it.”
― Brad Miner, The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry

“He’d save her life first and sort the rest out later.”
― Ann Aguirre, Strange Love

“Within a nominally Christian world, chivalry upheld without any substantial alterations an Aryan ethics in the following things:
(1) upholding the ideal of the hero rather than the saint, and of the conqueror rather than of the martyr;
(2) regarding faithfulness and honor, rather than caritas and humbleness, as the highest virtues;
(3) regarding cowardice and dishonor, rather than sin, as the worst possible evil;
(4) ignoring or hardly putting into practice the evangelical precepts of not opposing evil and not retaliating against offenses, but rather, methodically punishing unfairness and evil;
(5) excluding from its ranks those who followed the Christian precept ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill� to the letter; and
(6) refusing to love one’s enemy and instead fighting him and being magnanimous only after defeating him.

...

In reality, chivalry was animated by the impulse toward a ‘traditionalâ€� restoration in the highest sense of the word, with the silent or explicit overcoming of the Christian religious spirit.”
― Julius Evola, Revolt Against the Modern World

“Perhaps honourable men who rescued damsels in distress because of their chivalry and not a prospect of the said damsel's good graces still existed in this world.”
― E.G. Sparks, Sky Ice

“A gentleman takes a woman on her own terms, and in doing so he puts the lie to ideological drivel about oppression.”
― Brad Miner, The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry

“Education is the empowerment of the mind to continuously seek the true and the beautiful, regardless of ideological distractions.”
― Brad Miner, The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry

“The compleat gentleman’s rectitude does not prohibit him from having a sense of humor. His Stoic sense of life and his urbane education ought to give him wit.”
― Brad Miner, The Compleat Gentleman: The Modern Man's Guide to Chivalry

“So many come to see me die, thought Dunk bitterly, but he wronged them. A few steps farther on, a woman called out 'Good fortune to you.' An old man stepped up to take his hand and said, 'May the gods give you strength, ser.' Then a begging brother in a tattered brown robe said a blessing on his sword, and a maid kissed his cheek. They are for me. 'Why?' he asked Pate. 'What am I to them?' 'A knight who remembered his vows,' the smith said.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

“His dad had told him many times that the definition of a real ma is one who cries without shame, reads poetry with his heart, feels opera in his soul, and does what's necessary to defend a woman”
― Delia Owens, Where The Crawdads Sing

“It must never be forgotten, in viewing the history of those times, that the original object of the institution of chivalry, was to correct the evils of the feudal system; to strike the rod from the hand of the oppressor, to defend the defenceless, and to right the wronged; and had chivalry remained in its purity, it might have averted long the downfall of the system with which it was linked. The people loved the true knight as much as they hated the feudal lord; and long after the decay of the order, even the affectation of its higher qualities both won regard from the lower classes, and excited the admiration of all those above them, who retained any sparks of the spirit which once animated it.”
― George Payne Rainsford James, Agincourt : a romance / by G.P.R. James. Volume v.2 1844 [Leather Bound]

“Chivalry is a thrilling journey into the wild unknowns of giving up oneself for Christ’s mission on earth.”
― J. Aaron Gruben, Chivalry: An Ancient Code for Our Time

“The deepest beauty of ancient code chivalry is that it is devoted to serving the real God in the real world. It gives us the wonder and adventure of upholding and loving a beautiful moral good which is solid and true.”
― J. Aaron Gruben, Chivalry: An Ancient Code for Our Time

“Daily dependability is not always exciting or epic, but it is heroic. The chivalrous person goes where he has to go and does what he has to do... That is true chivalric heroism. And that's how we truly prove our love for those in our lives. Mundane dependability is what true love looks like.”
― J. Aaron Gruben, Chivalry: A Study for Little Knights

“Gentleness is not being weak or fluffy. Gentleness is the power to control your strength, and to use it to protect and not harm those weaker than you.”
― J. Aaron Gruben, Chivalry: A Study for Little Knights

“Gentlemen, which means boys, be courteous to the old maids, no matter how poor and plain and prim, for the only chivalry worth having is that which is the readiest to to pay deference to the old, protect the feeble, and serve womankind, regardless of rank, age, or color.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women
