By those his former bounty fed;
On the bare earth exposed he lies,
With not a friend to close his eyes."

It thrives too fast at first, but fades in time."

Who much receives, but nothing gives;
Whom none can love, whom none can thank,–
Creation's blot, creation's blank."

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.

accepit: ingratus est, qui dissimulat; ingratus, qui non reddit;
ingratissimus omnium, qui oblitus est.]"
Author: Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca)
About: Ingratitude

Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude:
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Ingratitude
"Ingratitude is monstrous; and for the multitude to be ingrateful
were to make a monster of the multitude; of which we being
members, should bring ourselves to be monstrous members."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Ingratitude
"This was the most unkindest cut of all;
For when the noble Caesar saw him stab,
Ingratitude, more strong than traitor's arms,
Quite vanquished him. Then burst his mighty heart;
And in his mantle muffling up his face,
Even at the base of Pompey's statue
(Which all the while ran blood) great Caesar fell."
Author: William Shakespeare
