Heh, this is a quote from the bible, word for word. I'm not going to explain it, but if you think it's funny, you have judged rightly.

----

Luke 7:41-43

A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred, and the other fifty. When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of him will love him more?

Simon answered: "The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt."

And he said unto him: "You have judged rightly."

-----

Possibly not a one-liner

But in all reality, I have settled credit debts for large amounts of money, and had no love for my creditor. But when a friend forgives me of petty cash, I love him so much more.
