nius tells us that a thankless child
bears a tooth sharper than a serpent,
and ingratitude is more to be hated
than lying, thieving, drunkenness, or
any other vice which inhabits our
frail blood.

for their daily bread. We are all
children of a common parent, and yet
we are thankless and thoughtless, and
seldom lift our eyes with our hearts
in gratitude to the author of our life
and every blessing. How oblivious
are we of the benefits conferred by the
elements of air, food, fire and water ?
