Gratitude turns what we have into enough.

We can secure other people’s approval, if we do right and try hard; but our own is worth a hundred of it, and no way has been found out of securing that.

Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.

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

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

The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.

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

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

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.

Love is the only way to rescue humanity from all ills.

People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

When you love someone, you love the person as they are, and not as you’d like them to be.

Love means to love that which is unloveable. Otherwise it is no virtue at all.

Love inspires, illumines, designates and leads the way.

Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.
