Take time to be thankful for everything that you have. You can always have more, but you could also have less.

Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.

How easily we can forget how precious life is! So long as we can remember, we've just been here, being alive. Unlike other things for which we have a good comparison black to white, day to night, good to bad we are so immersed in life that we can see it only in the context of itself. We don't see life as compared to anything, to not-being, for example, to never having been born. Life just is. But life itself is a gift. It's a compliment just being born: to feel, breathe, think, play, dance, sing, work, make love, for this particular lifetime. Today, let's give thanks for life. For life itself. For simply being born!

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get. What you see in others, exists in you. Remember, life is an echo. It always gets back to you. So give goodness.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Silent gratitude isn't very much use to anyone.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

Don't waste your time on things that you think you want because there is always someone out there who needs it much more than you could ever possibly know.

Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have.

It's the recognition that other people's problems, their pain and frustrations, are every bit as real as our own often far worse. In recognizing this fact and trying to offer some assistance, we open our hearts and greatly enhance our sense of gratitude.

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you�ll find that you have more of it.

Gratitude doesn't change the scenery. It merely washes clean the glass you look through so you can clearly see the colors.

It isn't what you have in your pocket that makes you thankful, but what you have in your heart.

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.

Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

If we magnified blessings as much as we magnify disappointments, we would all be much happier.

Be thankful for what you have, you'll end of having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.

We need to regularly stop and take stock; to sit down and determine within ourselves which things are worth valuing and which things are not; which risks are worth the cost and which are not. Even the most confusing or hurtful aspects of life can be made more tolerable by clear seeing and by choice.

A good life is when you smile often, dream big, laugh a lot and realize how blessed you are for what you have.

Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into your life.

Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have life itself.

None of those material possessions do anything to make your life any better I know a lot of people who have a lot of everything, and they're absolutely the most miserable people in the world. So it won't do anything for you unless you're a happy person and can have peace with yourself.

You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you

Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build their philosophy of life.

If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.

A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.

It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed in the same moment.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough

Your words are my food, your breath my wine.

You wondered how you'd make it through. I wondered what was wrong with you. Because how could you give your love to someone else, yet share your dreams with me? Sometimes the only thing you're looking for, is the one thing you can't see.

You never lose by loving. By You always lose by holding back.

You know when you have found your prince because you not only have a smile on your face but in your heart as well.

You have touched my heart in so many ways with your gentle tenderness, I am lost forever in your love.

You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.

You have captured my soul in a cocoon of love. My heart will be forever yours.

Women wish to be loved not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.

Without Valentine's Day, February would be well, January.

Without love, the rich and poor live in the same house.

Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law.

When you're in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her; whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks.

When you really want love you will find it waiting for you.

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

What the world really needs is more love and less paper work.

What I need to live has been given to me by the earth. Why I need to live has been given to me by you.

We loved with a love that was more than love.

We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness.

We don't believe in rheumatism and true love until after the first attack.

Falling in love consists merely in uncorking the imagination and bottling the common sense.

Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life.
