Biting the hand that feeds you

Mark Twain, man of letters, humorist, master of the study of human beings and the societies we create, put this spin on the human tendency to 'bite the hand that feeds you':

"IF YOU PICK UP A STARVING DOG AND MAKE HIM PROSPEROUS HE WILL NOT BITE YOU. THIS IS THE PRINCIPAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DOG AND MAN.”
