Unwanted favours gain no gratitude.
SOPHOCLES, Oedipus at Colonus
From the moment we expect gratitude, we forfeit it.
When gratitude has become a matter of reasoning there are many ways of escaping from its bonds.
GEORGE ELIOT, Middlemarch
Next to ingratitude, the most painful thing to bear is gratitude.
HENRY WARD BEECHER, Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
You cannot ensure the gratitude of others for a favour conferred upon them in the way which is most agreeable to yourself.
ARTHUR HELPS, Thoughts in the Cloister and the Crowd
No metaphysician ever felt the deficiency of language so much as the grateful.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON, Lacon
