To Feel Oppressed By Obligation Is Only To Prove That We Are Incapable Of A Proper Sentiment Of Gratitude. To Receive Favors From The Unworthy Is Simply To Admit That Our Selfishness Is Superior To Our Pride. Most Men Remember Obligations, But Not Often To Be Grateful For Them. The Proud Are Made Sour By The Remembrance And The Vain Silent.
