William Gilmore Simms Quote

Most men remember obligations, but not often to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent.


Egeria: Or Voices of Thought and Counsel, for the Woods and Wayside (ed. 1853)


Most men remember obligations, but not often to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent.

Most men remember obligations, but not often to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent.

Most men remember obligations, but not often to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent.

Most men remember obligations, but not often to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent.
