A gentleman can live through anything.

What it means
Our interpretation.
Endurance is treated as the mark of a true gentleman: whatever misfortune arrives, such a person can get through it. The claim credits good manners and steady character with surprising toughness, though it is the speaker's view of what refinement makes possible rather than a proven rule.
