Happy Thanksgiving Day!

"The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving." H.U. Westmayer

"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new." Ralph Waldo Emerson

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

"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." W.T. Purkiser

 

 "To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven." Johannes A. Gaertner

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

"Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more." Brother David Steindl-Rast

"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."  Frank A. Clark
