Savages we call them, because their manners differ from ours, which we think the perfection of civility; they think the same of theirs.

Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
You don't get somebody to like you by doing them a favor. That only tends to build resentment over the fact that they are needy and you are not. No, you ask them to do you a favor.
