"Whatever is received is received according to the nature of the recipient"

- Thomas Aquinas

About this Quote

This quote by Thomas Aquinas recommends that whatever is gotten depends on the nature of the recipient. This suggests that the method which something is received is identified by the characteristics of the individual getting it. For instance, if someone is naturally generous, they might be more likely to receive a present with thankfulness and gratitude. On the other hand, if somebody is more selfish, they might be more likely to receive a gift with suspicion and even ridicule. This quote likewise indicates that the method which something is received is not always figured out by the nature of the important things being received, however rather by the nature of the recipient. This recommends that the very same thing can be gotten differently depending on who is receiving it. Eventually, this quote encourages us to be conscious of our own nature and how it affects the method we receive things.
