The test of every religious, political, or educational system, is the man which it forms. If a system injures the intelligence it is bad. If it injures the character it is vicious. If it injures the conscience it is criminal.

Henri Frederic Amiel

Gentlemen, let us suppose that man is not stupid. (Indeed one cannot refuse to suppose that, if only from the one consideration, that, if man is stupid, then who is wise?) But if he is not stupid, he is monstrously ungrateful! Phenomenally ungrateful. In fact, I believe that the best definition of man is the ungrateful biped.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

He is ungrateful who denies that he has received a kindness which has been bestowed upon him; he is ungrateful who conceals it; he is ungrateful who makes no return for it; most ungrateful of all is he who forgets it.

Seneca the Younger

God did not need any assistance, but man did; bitterly he wanted it, and the giving of such assistance was the proper business of a woman.

James Stephens

Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.

Coretta Scott King

Fright never injures anyone. What injures the spirit is having someone always on your back, beating you, telling you what to do and what not to do

Carlos Castaneda

He who injures one man threatens many.

Publilius Syrus

He who quarrels with a drunken man injures one who is absent.

Publilius Syrus

In morals, theosophy builds its teachings on the unity, seeing in each form the expression of a common life, and therefore the fact that what injures one injures all. To do evil i.e., to throw poison into the life-blood of humanity, is a crime against the unity.

Annie Besant

We do not have a budget support. We are now fully independent in terms of requirements, but we still have a need for development assistance separate from the budget. So all the economic aid we receive is for development assistance.

Jose Ramos-Horta

It is impossible to bring more into your life if you are feeling ungrateful about what you have. Why? Because the thoughts and feelings you emit as you feel ungrateful are all negative emotions.

Rhonda Byrne

Ungrateful people breed negativity. No one gets any pleasure from giving to an ungrateful person. When you show appreciation, the object of your attention blossoms and flourishes.

Paul McCabe

A favor is to a grateful man delightful always; to an ungrateful man only once.

Seneca the Younger

He that calls a man ungrateful sums up all the veil that a man can be guilty of.

Jonathan Swift

After September 11th, nations from across the globe offered their generous assistance to the people of New York. And whenever our friends around the world need our assistance, New York is there.
