Recompense Quotations
There are minds so impatient of inferiority that their gratitude is a species of revenge, and they return benefits, not because recompense is a pleasure, but because obligation is a pain.
Samuel Johnson
May be is very well, but Must is the master. It is my duty to show justice without recompense.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
True charity is the desire to be useful to others with no thought of recompense.
Emanuel Swedenborg
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
William Hazlitt
In recompense, envy may be the subtlest - perhaps I should say the most insidious - of the seven deadly sins.
Joseph Epstein
Perhaps women have always been in closer contact with reality than men: it would seem to be the just recompense for being deprived of idealism.
Germaine Greer
