How little a thing can make us happy when we feel we have earned it.

May your troubles be less and your blessings be more.

Be present in all things and thankful for all things.

I would rather be able to appreciate things I can not have than to have things I am not able to appreciate.

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

A man, to carry on a successful business, must have imagination. He must see things as in a vision, a dream of the whole thing. A man can cultivate this faculty only by an appreciation for the finer things in life.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of being and ideal grace.

Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.

No duty is more urgent than giving thanks.

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.

Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment.

We don’t need more to be thankful for, we just need to be more thankful.

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.

The present moment is filled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive, you will see it.

Such sober certainty of walking bliss.

Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and oftentimes we call a man cold, when he is only sad.

Hope itself is a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords; but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain.

The things are mighty few on earth That wishes can attain. Whate'er we want of any worth We've go to work to gain.

Think enthusiastically about everything; but especially about your job. If you do, you'll put a torch of glory in your life. If you love your job with enthusiasm, you'll shake it to pieces. You'll love it into greatness, you'll upgrade it, you'll fill it with prestige and power.

I did not seek greatness. I only sought to fulfill my duties.

Who works with all the strength he can Shall never die in debt to man.
