This ingratitude, this forgetfulness is congenial to mean people... But the worthy person is grateful and mindful of benefits done to him. This gratitude, this mindfulness, is congenial to the best people.(Buddhism, Anguttara Nikaya)One upon whom We bestow kindnessBut will not express gratitude,Is worse than a robberWho carries away our belongings. (African Traditional Religions, Yoruba Proverb)Be thankful for the smallest blessing, and you will deserve to receive greater. Value the least gifts no less than the greatest, and simple graces as especial favours. If you remember the dignity of the Giver, no gift will seem small or mean, for nothing can be valueless that is given by the most high God.(Thomas a Kempis, `The Imitation of Christ') -- " Let Noble thoughts come to us from every side " . - RigVeda (1-89-i) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
