It is a great happiness to get off without injury and heart-burning, from one who has had the ill luck to be served by you. It is a very onerous business, this being served, and the debtor naturally wishes to give you a slap.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“He has served me too well; by increasing my power he has stolen it away: he is now my subject only so long as he pleases.”
