Quote by Alphonsus Liguori
Who is there that ever receives a gift and tries to make bargains

Who is there that ever receives a gift and tries to make bargains about it? Let us, then, return thanks for what He has bestowed on us. Who can tell whether, if we had had a larger share of ability or stronger health, we should not have possessed them to our destruction. – Alphonsus Liguori
