The ingratitude of the world can never deprive us of the conscious happiness of having acted with humanity ourselves

Oliver Goldsmith, an Irish writer and poet, was known for his keen observations of human nature and his ability to capture the essence of the human experience in his works. One of his most famous quotes, "The ingratitude of the world can never deprive us of the conscious happiness of having acted with humanity ourselves," speaks to the idea that true happiness comes from within, from the knowledge that we have acted with kindness and compassion towards others.
