quotes about giving thanks

A few months ago, I shared my favorite quotes about volunteering. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how many of you enjoy reading quotes as I do. So in honor of Thanksgiving, I’m sharing my favorite quotes about giving thanks.

 

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

_________________________

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. (Albert Schweitzer)

_________________________

He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has. (Epictetus)

_________________________

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses. (Alphonse Karr)

The world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs more of is people to appreciate and enjoy it. (Michael Josephson)

__________________________

Do not take anything for granted — not one smile or one person or one rainbow or one breath, or one night in your cozy bed. (Terri Guillemets)

__________________________

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. (Albert Einstein)

__________________________

As each day comes to us refreshed and anew, so does my gratitude renew itself daily. The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world. (Adabella Radici)

 

Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy. (Fred De Witt Van Amburgh)

__________________________

Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. (Oprah Winfrey)

__________________________

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. (Marcel Proust)

__________________________

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. (Robert Brault)

Wishing each of you a very happy Thanksgiving!
