Ita, quod unum in voto tuo honestum videri poterat, ipsum turpe et ingratum est, nolle debere; optas enim, non ut tu facultatem habeas referendae gratiae, sed ut ille necessitatem implorandae. Superiorem te facis et, quod nefas est, bene meritum ad pedes tuos mittis. Quanto satius est honesta voluntate debere, quam rationem per malam solvere !
