I’d like to say “thank you” on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition.
Gratitude is indeed a duty which we are bound to pay, but which benefactors cannot exact.[La reconnoissance est bien un devoir qu’il faut rendre, mais-non pas un droit qu’on puisse exiger.]
Don’t overload Gratitude; if you do, she’ll kick.
Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.
