I know how hard it is to shoot the basketball, so I've got great appreciation for it.

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

Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible. The kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.

Do you feel gloomy? Lift your eyes. Stand on your feet. Say a few words of appreciation and love to the lord. Be positive.

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

I have yet to find a man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism.

A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than they need.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
