• Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back Wherein he puts alms for oblivion, A great-sized monster of ingratitudes: Those scraps are good deeds past, which are devour'd As fast as they are made, forgot as soon as done.

    William Shakespeare: Time hath, my lord, a wallet at his back 
Wherein he puts alms for oblivion, 
A great-sized monster of ingratitudes: 
Those scraps are good deeds past, which are devour'd 
As fast as they are made, forgot as soon as done.
    'Troilus And Cressida' (1602) act 3, sc. 3, l. 145
