Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations.
Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes.
Class knows that good manners are nothing more than a series of small sacrifices and minor inconveniences.
Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. Some extremely wealthy people have no class at all, while others who are struggling to make ends meet are loaded with it.
Class is real. You can’t fake it.
Class is comfortable in its own skin. It never puts on airs.
Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not attempt to look better by making others look worse.
Class can “walk with kings and keep its virtue and talk with crowds and keep the common touch.” Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself.
If you have class, you’ve got it made. If you don’t have class, no matter what else you have, it won’t make up for it.

I saw this a long time ago. It's so true... you either have class or you don't. I think you're born with it. Or not.
only women know what class is.Men don't have it. Good post peg.
you're wrong jimbob. men can have class too. Look at old movie stars like Clark Gable. That was class in a big way. sam
