Gordon B. HinckleyGratitude is a sign of maturity... Where there is appreciation: there is also courtesy and concern for the rights and property of others.
About This Quote
Gratitude is a sign of maturity. It indicates that one has developed a sense of responsibility, caring, and respect for the rights and property of others. One who is unable to express gratitude is not mature. Gratitude is not merely expressing appreciation for help received, but rather it indicates an ability to judge the value of the act or deed, and to accept it as good.
