- If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice. Meister Eckhart

- Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life. Northrup Christiane
- In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. Albert Schweitzer

- When asked if my cup is half-full or half-empty my only response is that I am thankful I have a cup. Sam Lefkowitz
- Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melody Beattie
- Praise God even when you don’t understand what He is doing. Henry Jacobsen
