Entitlements




Ὑπερφύως νοοῦσιν οἱ ἀνθρώποι περὶ τὰς γερηφορίας ἄνευ τῶν δέων, διότι οὔκ ἐστι γερηφορία ἐκτὸς δέοντος διαπραχθέντος.

 

(Hyperphýōs noöûsin hoi anthrṓpoi peri tas gerēphorías áneu tôn déōn, dióti oúk esti gerēphoría ektos déontos diaprachthéntos.)

 

People have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations, because there is no such thing as an entitlement unless someone has first met an obligation.

 

—Margaret Thatcher
