Id ego arbitror praecipue in honore observandum; quem qui laboriose exoraverit, sibi debet unam gratiam, quod impetrarit; qui vero sine molestia ambitus adeptus est, duplam gratiam praebentibus debet, et quod non petierit et quod acceperit.
That rule I think is especially to be followed in the matter of honor. One who takes trouble to obtain it is indebted only to himself if he receives it; but one who achieves it without the trouble of petitioning owes a double debt to the givers, because he both made no request and at the same time was the recipient.
