```"Beware of the wickedness of the one whom you have done well"This Arabic maxim was stated by the son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, Ali, who was the 4th Caliph and who lived in the year 600 to the year 661. This sad statement was made 300 years ago, on the ingratitude of men, ingratitude which, if it is not general, is alas, quite frequent. The following Arabic text is pronounced as follows: Itaaki scherré men ahsenté ileh.Offered as a souvenir to the brave young man, Salvator B. Israel, by Vitalis Stroumza, who had the opportunity to observe in him qualities that he greatly appreciates, ie: simplicity, modesty, humility, sincerity, absence of pettiness, real goodness unvarnished, free from hypocrisy. And what has further enhanced in his eyes, is to see that the ease gained by his hard work, in a country far away, did not make him flushed by his success, nor made him vain like so many others.Rhodes, July 30, 1938```
