No gentleman ever did harm unintentionally.

"A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally"
This is not supposed to be a place to be serious, but that quotation bothers me, because the best of gentlemen do indeed at times hurt others unintentionally. Worse still, for those who would hesitate to claim that honorable estate, all too often we hurt even those we love unintentionally.

At the risk of yarting, since I myself have brought this up before, I have to offer a maxim from one of the undisputed masters:
The question is ... which is to be master -- that's all. ... Impenetrability! That's what I say.

or, alternatively and still in an incendiary mode:
The juvenile offspring of mankind, When cauterized by ignition, Forever bears within its mind The fear of repetition.
