I try to be grateful, as I remember the parable of the ten cured lepers, where only one returned to Jesus to say thanks. I am sure the others were also grateful, but were busy and distracted. Failing to say thanks is a mark of immaturity; saying thanks is something young children have to be taught. Not giving thanks is a mark of serious adult selfishness.

—George Cardinal Pell

from his book Prison Journal, Vol. 2
