The gratitude of most men is merely a secret desire to receive greater benefits.

There are two ways to get enough: One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

O beautiful for spacious skies, For Amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!

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

Gratitude is the way to happiness.

May your troubles be less and your blessings be more.

If you have overcome your inclination and not been overcome by it, you have reason to rejoice.
