Great quote, but I prefer Paul Eldridge’s version from August 1948:
“A man’s character is most evident by how he treats those who are not in a position either to retaliate or reciprocate.” I like this version because it mentions retaliation.

But maybe Eldridge just modified the quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon in 1876:
“I think you may judge of a man’s character by the persons whose affection he seeks. If you find a man seeking only the affection of those who are great, depend upon it he is ambitious and self-seeking; but when you observe that a man seeks the affection of those who can do nothing for him, but for whom he must do everything, you know that he is not seeking himself, but that pure benevolence sways his heart.”
