One kind word can warm three winter months.

When you don't come from struggle, gaining appreciation is a quality that's difficult to come by.

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

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

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

People don’t get along because they fear each other. People fear each other because they don’t know each other. They don’t know each other because they have not properly communicated with each other.

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

The greatest gift I can give is to see, hear, understand and touch another person. When this is done, I feel contact has been made.

One of the most pathetic—and dangerous—signs of our times is the growing number of individuals and groups who believe that no one can possibly disagree with them for any honest reason.

Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they will.

Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

Aloha is free.

Silent gratitude isn't very much to anyone.

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!

Your depression is connected to your insolence and refusal to praise.

Any one thing in creation is sufficient to demonstrate a Providence to a humble and grateful mind.

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

The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.

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.
