Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out.

One can never pay in gratitude; one can only pay 'in kind' somewhere else in life.

When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.

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

Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.

Silent gratitude isn't very much to anyone.

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.

The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated.

At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

The way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.

Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy.

The world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields, and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs more of is people to appreciate and enjoy it.

Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily.

If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

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

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

It is only normal that people count losses with their minds, and ignore to count blessings with the graciousness of their hearts.

Gratitude is an overflow of the pleasure filling your soul.

Gratitude paints little smiley faces on everything it touches

Be thankful for your allotment in an imperfect world. Though better circumstances can be imagined, far worse are nearer misses than you probably care to realize.

Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the grateful and appreciating heart.

I may not be where I want to be but I'm thankful for not being where I used to be.

This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

Joy is thankfulness, and when we are joyful, that is the best expression of thanks we can offer the Lord, Who delivers us from sorrow and sin.

Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.

Thankfulness creates gratitude which generates contentment that causes peace.

We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.

Sometimes we focus so much on what we don't have that we fail to see, appreciate, and use what we do have!

People complain about the bad things that happen to em that they don't deserve but they seldom mention the good. About what they done to deserve them things

We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.

Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayer and worn with thanks.

So to you, or anyone else who has spent four minutes on me in some way-- listening to just one song, or watching one of my videos.Thank you. I love you like I love sparkles and having the last word. And that's real love.

Rest and be thankful.

One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful..we let what was once a miracle become common to us. We get so accustomed to his goodness it becomes a routine..

I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.

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.
