My love, a person is better judged by how they treat their inferiors than their betters. That is the true measure of a man, or a woman. Think you that you are so far above Lata?""If I am to be your wife then I shall be far above her and she had better do as she is told if she wants to stay employed here! "" I've ruined you. My poor little mango seller." Nadir let go of my wrist and stepped away, his face hardening. "You shall not be my wife if you cannot treat people with the respect they not only deserve, but earn every day by working so hard for it! "' Mangoes . J.A. Ironside
About This Quote

This is a story of love and sacrifice, and an important lesson on the importance of treating others with respect. The story of Lata and her betters is a wonderful example of a person growing a heart—and a mind—and learning to treat others as they would like to be treated themselves.
