My view is that the recipient of a benefit ought to remember it all his life, but that the benefactor ought to put it out of his mind at once. [. . .] To remind a man of the good turns you have done to him is very much like a reproach.
ἐγὼ νομίζω τὸν μὲν εὖ παθόντα δεῖν μεμνῆσθαι πάντα τὸν χρόνον, τὸν δὲ ποιήσαντα εὐθὺς ἐπιλελῆσθαι. [. . .] τὸ δὲ τὰς ἰδίας εὐεργεσίας ὑπομιμνήσκειν καὶ λέγειν μικροῦ δεῖν ὅμοιόν ἐστι τῷ ὀνειδίζειν.
