"The whole point of justice consists precisely in our providing for others through humanity what we provide for our own family through affection."

Previous Quote

Ingratitude is a nail which, driven into the tree of courtesy, causes it to wither; it is a broken channel, by which the foundations of the affections are undermined; and a lump of soot, which, falling into the dish of friendship, destroys its scent and flavor.

— Giambattista Basile
