One ungrateful person, does an injury to all needy people.

Summary

This quote suggests that the actions of a single ungrateful individual can impact and harm not just themselves, but also those who are truly in need. By showing ingratitude and not appreciating what they have, this person indirectly undermines the efforts of those who rely on help and support from others. It speaks to the idea that even small acts of gratitude can have a positive ripple effect, while disregarding gratitude can have negative consequences for the larger community.

Certainly, Gentlemen, it ought to be the happiness and glory

Certainly, Gentlemen, it ought to be the happiness and glory of a representative to live in the strictest union, the closest correspondence, and the most unreserved communication with his constituents. Their wishes ought to have great weight with him; their opinions high respect; their business unremitted attention. It is his duty to sacrifice his repose, his pleasure, his satisfactions, to theirs,and above all, ever, and in all cases, to prefer their interest to his own. But his unbiased opinion, his mature judgment, his enlightened conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you, to any man, or to any set of men living. These he does not derive from your pleasure,no, nor from the law and the Constitution. They are a trust from Providence, for the abuse of which he is deeply answerable. Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion.
