"I would say that the root of gratitude is the humbleness of heart; to be able to appreciate every little thing that is done to advance you in your growth and development or move you toward your goal or suffice for you a need.
The root of ingratitude, it would seem to me, is an arrogance that makes you think you deserved what you got. So you never quite see things as you should. So you act by what you’ve received, to advance you toward your goal, as if you only got what you deserve. So the opposite of humility is what produces ingratitude."
~The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan
Closing the Gap, pg. 159
