Gratitude In Star Rose Quartz Embroidery

"Even though many people prove to be ungrateful, do not let that stop you from benefiting others- for not only is beneficence in itself a noble and almost divine quality, it may also happen that while you practice it, you will encounter someone so grateful that he will make up for all the others' ingratitude."
- Francesco Guicciardini, born 1483-03-06 in Florence, Republic of Florence (on the land of present-day Italy)
