The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.

It is clear that the main tenet of socialism, community of goods, must be utterly rejected, since it only injures those whom it would seem meant to benefit, is directly contrary to the natural rights of mankind, and would introduce confusion and disorder into the commonweal. The first and most fundamental principle, therefore, if one would undertake to alleviate the condition of the masses, must be the inviolability of private property.

Pope Leo XIII

It is part of the business of life to be affable and pleasing to those whom either nature, chance or circumstance has made our companions.

Thomas More

Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.
