Better is half a loaf than no bread.

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

Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful.

Silent gratitude isn't very much to anyone.

Gratitude is the way to happiness.

Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.

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.

I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full resources that are within thy reach.
