| You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink. |
| I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. |
| As each day comes to us refreshed and anew, so does my gratitude renew itself daily. The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world. |
| If you have lived, take thankfully the past. |
| Gratitude is an art of painting an adversity into a lovely picture. |
| The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you. |
| When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs? |
| Gratitude is the memory of the heart. |
| There is no such thing as gratitude unexpressed. If it is unexpressed, it is plain,old-fashioned ingratitude. |
| If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice. |
