If a man professes to thank God and his wealth decreases, his thanksgiving must be vitiated by his neglect of the hungry and naked.
Be grateful to him who has done you good, and do good to him who is grateful to you.
Gratitude takes three forms—a feeling in the heart, an expression in words, and a giving in return.
The most worthless things on earth are these four—rain on a barren soil, a lamp in sunshine, a beautiful woman given in marriage to a blind man, and a good deed to one who is ungrateful.
RECOMPENSE
To recompense good for good is a duty.
Neglect of recompense is contemptible.
If a man do you a favour recompense him, and if you are unable to do so, pray for him.
The worst kind of recompense is to requite evil for good.
