• Se puede decir esto en general de los hombres: son ingratos, desleales, insinceros y embusteros, tímidos ante el peligro y ávidos de provecho... El amor es un vínculo de obligación que estas miserables criaturas rompen cuando les conviene; pero el miedo les sujeta por un temor al castigo que nunca pasa.

  Nicolás Maquiavelo

• There is no tongue to speak his eulogy;
  Too brightly burned his splendour for our eyes:
  Far easier to condemn his injurers,
  Than for the tongue to reach his smallest worth.
  He to the realms of sinfulness came down,
  To teach mankind; ascending then to God,
  Heaven unbarred to him her lofty gates,
  To whom his country hers refused to ope.
  Ungrateful land, to its own injury
  Nurse of his fate! Well too does this instruct,
  That greatest ills fall to the perfectest.
  And 'midst a thousand proofs, let this suffice,
  That, as his exile had no parallel,
  So never was there man more great than he.

  Miguel Ángel

• Se puede hacer esta generalización sobre los hombres: son desagradecidos, inconstantes, mentirosos y engañadores, rehúyen el peligro y son ávidos de ganancias; mientras los trates bien, son tuyos. Derramarían su sangre por ti, arriesgarían sus bienes, sus vidas, sus hijos, siempre que, como he dicho antes, el peligro sea remoto; pero cuando estás en peligro se vuelven contra ti.

  Nicolás Maquiavelo

• We all spend so much time not saying what we want, because we know we can't have it. And because it sounds ungracious, or ungrateful, or disloyal, or childish, or banal. Or because we're so desperate to pretend that things are OK, really, that confessing to ourselves they're not looks like a bad move. Go on, say what you want. ... Whatever it is, say it to yourself. The truth will set you free. Either that or it'll get you a punch in the nose. Surviving in whatever life you're living means lying, and lying corrodes the soul, so take a break from the lies for just one minute.

  Nick Hornby

• What may appear to be proud ungrateful and headstrong fron the outside may from the inside express an unshakable integrity of character. Pride, if it doesn't step over the line into arrogance, is simply an unprejudiced self-esteem. Ingratitude is the appropriate response to a kindness that has hooks on it. Headstrong is another word for trusting your own heart.

• If you can't say something nice... about an overrated, ungrateful European nation that would have been wiped off the face of the earth twice in the twentieth century if it weren't for the United States and which has given nothing to the culture in the past two hundred years but whine and cheese, both of which are made better in California, then don't say anything at all!

• The outstretched arms of Jesus exclude no one, not the drunk in the doorway, the panhandler on the street, gays and lesbians in their isolation, the most selfish and ungrateful in their cocoons, the most unjust of employers and the most overweening of snobs. The love of Christ embraces all without exception.

• Often our good deeds make enemies for us, and the ungrateful person despises us on two counts; for he is not only unwilling to acknowledge the gratitude he owes us: he does not want to have his benefactor as witness to his thankless behavior.

• I sometimes feel a bit embarrassed to play guitar. There's something - I don't want to sound ungrateful - but there's something very old-fashioned and traditional about it.
