Ingratitude

"People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them."

"Blow, blow, thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind As mans ingratitude: Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude."

"Ingratitude is monstrous; and for the multitude to be ingrateful, were to make a monster of the multitude."

"Ingratus est, qui beneficium accepisse se negat, quod accepit: ingratus est, qui dissimulat; ingratus, qui non reddit; ingratissimus omnium, qui oblitus est."

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

"Ingratus unus miseris omnibus nocet."

"Ingratitudes a weed of every clime, It thrives too fast at first, but fades in time."

"That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives; Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creations blot, creations blank."

"This was the most unkindest cut of all; For when the noble Cæsar saw him stab, Ingratitude, more strong than traitors arms, Quite vanquishd him; then burst his mighty heart; And, in his mantle muffling, up his face, Even at the base of Pompeys statue, Which all the while ran blood, great Cæsar fell."

"Nihil amas, cum ingratum amas."

"Ingratitude! thou marble-hearted fiend, More hideous, when thou showst thee in a child, Than the sea-monster!"

"He thats ungrateful, has no guilt but one; All other crimes may pass for virtues in him."
