Gratitude begins with the right attitude.

One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.

Be like the flower, turn your face to the sun.

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

Never complain of that of which it is at all times in your power to rid yourself.

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!

A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.

There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation of favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.

No duty is more urgent than giving thanks.

Be grateful that on this raging sea you have a mind to guide you.

The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.

Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.

There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.
