In terms of chivalry, I frequently choose to let others proceed before myself. If another person and I desire the same thing, I will concede it to them, before I take it. I have also recently started donating to charity in an effort to help those less fortunate than myself. As for etiquette, my biggest thing is proper grammar. I try my best to articulate myself clearly and concisely. I also try not to say "um"constantly or fumble over my words.
Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.

Refined manners are to be a reflection of the refinement within one's character.  Thus when we exhibit our manners, we are showing ourselves whether in public or in private.
