Marcus Aurelius Quotes
Some Men, When They Do You A Kindness, At Once Demand The Payment Of Gratitude From You; Others Are More Modest Than This. However, They Remember The Favor, And Look Upon You As Their Debtor In A Manner. A Third Sort Shall Scarce Know What They Have Done. These Are Much Like A Vine, Which Is Satisfied By Being Fruitful In Its Kind, And Bears A Bunch Of Grapes Without Expecting Any Thanks For It. A Fleet Horse Or Greyhound Do Not Make A Noise When They Have Done Well, Nor A Bee Neither When She Has Made A Little Honey. And Thus A Man That Has Done A Kindness Never Proclaims It, But Does Another As Soon As He Can, Just Like A Vine That Bears Again The Next Season. Now We Should Imitate Those Who Are So Obliging As Hardly To Reflect On Their Beneficence (v. 6).
