"For my own part, when I am employed in serving others, I do not look on myself as conferring favors but as paying debts. In my travels and since my settlement I have received much kindness from men, whom I will never have an opportunity of making the least direct return: and numberless mercies from God, who is infinitely above being benefited by our services. These kindness from men I can therefore only return to their fellow men, and I can only show my gratitude for these mercies from God, by a readiness to help his other children and my Brethren."
Benjamin Franklin, Freemason
