If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice. ~Meister Eckhart

Our rural ancestors, with little blest,
Patient of labour when the end was rest,
Indulged the day that housed their annual grain,
With feasts, and off'rings, and a thankful strain.

~Alexander Pope

Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart. ~Seneca

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures. ~Thornton Wilder

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don't unravel. ~Author Unknown

The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. ~Aesop
