"Friendships begin through gratitude. Gratitude is not the mere thankfulness which a beneficiary feels toward his benefactor.

Gratitude is an awakening of the mind to some good thing said or done, and the unselfish and free out-going of the heart toward the one who did it. Gratitude levels all castes or positions"
