Gratitude is a very rare thing. If any of you try
to do good for the sake of getting gratitude, you
will find it one of the most profitless trades in
the world. If you can do good, expecting to be abused for it,
you will get your reward; but if you do good, with
an expectation of gratitude in return, you will be
bitterly disappointed. --Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
_Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit_, Volume 51 [1905
One can give without loving, but one cannot love
without giving. --Amy Carmichael (1867-1951)
(In Elisabeth Elliot's _A Chance to Die: The
Life And Legacy Of Amy Carmichael_ [1970])
The larger the slice taken by government, the smaller the cake available for everyone.- Margaret Thatcher@MrsMThatcher
