Tough Crowd

“Such is the nature of man,
that for your first gift — he prostrates himself;
for your second — kisses your hand;
for the third — fawns;
for the fourth — just nods his head once;
for the fifth — becomes too familiar;
for the sixth — insults you;
and for the seventh — sues you because he was not given enough.”

Gurdjieff, All and Everything, Third Series, p. 56
