Men are more ready to repay an injury than a benefit
because gratitude is a burden and revenge a pleasure.
— Tacitus (56-120 AD)

  3. Susanne,

    Nope, just an interesting quote that I heard on Criminal Minds, actually, and thought I'd share. It's just there to ponder.

  4. Candice,

    It's one of those painful realities. Something very good to keep in mind, though.
