GRATITUDE.--Gratitude is a virtue disposing the mind to an inward
sense and an outward acknowledgment of a benefit received, together
with a readiness to return the same, or the like, as occasions of the
doer of it shall require, and the abilities of the receiver extend to.
He who receives a good turn, should never forget it: he who does one,
should never remember it.--CHARRON.
O Lord, that lends me life, lend me a heart replete with
thankfulness.--SHAKESPEARE.
What causes such a miscalculation in the amount of gratitude which men
expect for the favors they have done, is, that the pride of the giver
and that of the receiver can never agree as to the value of the
benefit.--LA ROCHEFOUCAULD.
