i've long been meaning to stick this to a visible place, so that i remember.
as in myself, so in others..
"Such is the nature of man,
    that for your first gift - he prostrates himself;
    for your second - kisses your hand;
    for the third - fawns;
    for the fourth - just nods his head once;
    for the fifth - becomes too familiar;
    for the sixth - insults you; and
    for the seventh - sues you because he was not given enough."

~ G.I.Gurdjieff
