"Gratitude is a duty. It is not a merely prudential maxim of encouraging the other to show me further beneficence by acknowledging my obligation to him for a favor he has done (gratiarum actio est ad plus dandum invitatio ), for I would then be using my acknowledgment merely as a means to my purposes.
