A man’s character is most evident by how he treats those who are not in a position either to retaliate or reciprocate.

About This Quote

This quote says that character is revealed in how someone treats those who cannot repay the kindness they received. When you help someone, they will owe you a favor, and they will treat you better than if you had not helped them. If you do not repay the favor, then the person who helped you will not treat you as kindly as they should.
