“I'd rather be nice to someone spoiled than mean to someone who really could use a hand.”

— Ysabella Brave

"Doing Good — for the right reasons!" (13 March 2008)
Context: We should not, certainly, punish other people in general because of an apparent lack of gratitude on the part of some. It could be that people are so busy they seem ungrateful — or they actually are thankless! But this is OK — I'd rather be nice to someone spoiled than mean to someone who really could use a hand.
