sir john templeton: "how wonderful it would be if we could help our children and grandchildren to learn thanksgiving at an early age. thanksgiving opens the doors. it changes a child’s personality. a child is resentful, negative—or thankful. thankful children want to give, they radiate happiness, they draw people."
albert schweitzer: "to educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude."
william faulkner: "gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all."
