"A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves."

"Alas, how quickly the gratitude owed to the dead flows off, how quick to be proved a deceiver."

"Gratitude to gratitude always gives birth."

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."

Now some folks say that we should be glad for what we have. Tell me, would you be happy in Village Ghetto Land?

Gratitude bestows reverence.....changing forever how we experience life and the world.

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.

“Gratitude looks to the Past and love to the Present; fear, avarice, lust, and ambition look ahead.”

“Too old to plant trees for my own gratification, I shall do it for my posterity.”

“I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.” 

“I feel a very unusual sensation - if it is not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude.”

The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for

“We've lost our sense of ethics; we live in a world of small-mindedness, of gratification without happiness and actions without meaning.” 

We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.

Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.

The imagination and the senses cannot be gratified at the same time.

I’m grateful for being here, for being able to think, for being able to see, for being able to taste, for appreciating love – for knowing that it exists in a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, and yet love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.

“no one ever got radicalized by being grateful” 

Let all-embracing thoughts for all beings be yours.

Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.

Free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty we are free at last.

It is of the nature of desire not to be satisfied, and most men live only for the gratification of it.

'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
