The grateful mind is a great mind, and attracts to it great things.Plato
(427-348 BCE)
When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity.
A person can almost
be defined by his or her attitude towards gratitude.
Elie Wiesel (concentration camp survivor)
Gratitude unlocks the fullness
of life...It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast; a house
into a home; a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past; brings peace for today, and creates a vision for
tomorrow.
Melody Beattie
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of them all.
Cicero (106-43 BCE)
If
the only prayer you say in your life is "thank you," that would suffice.
Meister Eckhart (1260-1327)
