M.F. Moonzajer

Ravi Zacharias
“When God is our Holy Father, sovereignty, holiness, omniscience, and immutability do not terrify us; they leave us full of awe and gratitude. Sovereignty is only tyrannical if it is unbounded by goodness; holiness is only terrifying if it is untempered by grace; omniscience is only taunting if it is unaccompanied by mercy; and immutability is only torturous if there is no guarantee of goodwill.”
Ravi Zacharias

“I made cranberry sauce, and when it was done put it into a dark blue bowl for the beautiful contrast. I was thinking, doing this, about the old ways of gratitude: Indians thanking the deer they'd slain, grace before supper, kneeling before bed. I was thinking that gratitude is too much absent in our lives now, and we need it back, even if it only takes the form of acknowledging the blue of a bowl against the red of cranberries.”
Elizabeth Berg, Open House

“You can
Lose a child
Or a parent,
The love of your life,
A good job,
A game,
A deal,
A bet,
An idea,
Your favorite thing,
Money,
Your best friend,
A moment,
An opportunity,
A chance,
Your keys,
Your mind,
Your health,
Your identity,
Your virginity,
Your religion,
Your shirt,
Your license,
ID or Passport,
Phone or phone number,
Hope,
Faith,
Luck,
Your pride,
Or your house,
And feel like
You've lost everything,
And keep on losing.

Stop
Counting losses
And start counting your blessings.
Only then,
Will you discover that losses
Are easier to point out
And count
Than blessings,
And that blessings
Outnumber your losses
For they are truly
Immeasurable.

It is only normal that
People count losses with
Their minds,
And ignore
To count blessings
With the graciousness
Of their hearts.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Alain de Botton
“Rather than getting more spoilt with age, as difficulties pile up, epiphanies of gratitude abound.”
Alain de Botton

Victor Hugo
“Are you what is called a lucky man? Well, you are sad every day. Each day has its great grief or its little care. Yesterday you were trembling for the health of one who is dear to you, today you fear for your own; tomorrow it will be an anxiety about money, the next day the slanders of a calumniator, the day after the misfortune of a friend; then the weather, then something broken or lost, then a pleasure for which you are reproached by your conscience or your vertebral column; another time, the course of public affairs. Not to mention heartaches. And so on. One cloud is dissipated, another gathers. Hardly one day in a hundred of unbroken joy and sunshine. And you are of that small number who are lucky! As for other men, stagnant night is upon them.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Roy T. Bennett
“Grateful people are happy people. The more things you are grateful for, the happier you will be.”
Roy T. Bennett

Roy T. Bennett
“Be thankful for the efforts of people who worked hard to get you where you are; you should not take it for granted and treat them with indifference.”

“Ask. Trust. Give thanks. Simple right?”
Dawn Gluskin

Criss Jami
“One may suffer the long-term in order to grow in appreciation for the small things. For in short-term suffering, one only notices the large.”
Criss Jami, Healology

“Some plant lips on Mother Earth in a display of gratitude.
Meanwhile, she is kissing the soles of your feet, recognizing the one to be worshiped is you.”
Taylor Patton

“Life is a celebration. Consider everything that makes you happy as a gift from God and say, 'Thank you.”
Francis Lucille, The Perfume of Silence

J.R. Rim
“When you feel thankful, you can be appreciative for a moment, then not at all the next. It seems the tank is full, then it becomes empty, and the cycle continues. If you don't feel the same gratitude for a moment, know that it's possible in the next moment that comes around.”
J.R. Rim

Confucius
“Vergiss Kränkungen, doch Vergiss Freundlichkeiten nie.”
Konfuzius

Rhonda Byrne
“We can never bring anything to us unless we are grateful for what we have. In fact, if somebody were completely and utterly grateful for everything, they would never have to ask for anything, because it would be given to them before they even asked.”
Rhonda Byrne, How The Secret Changed My Life: Real People. Real Stories.

Ana Monnar
“Making the ungrateful grateful is a tedious endeavor.”
Ana Monnar

“My prayer is an attitude of pure gratitude for having the opportunity to experience life on this earth with all its pain, heartache, worry, and turmoil; coupled with this gratitude is the thankfulness for just having the opportunity to have lived. That is fairly easy on good days but difficult when life puts rocks and boulders in the road.”
David W Earle

Richard Allestree
“That very breath wherewith they utter their complaints is a blessing and a fundamental one too for if God would withdraw that they were incapable of whatsoever else either have or desire.”
Richard Allestree, The Art of Contentment

Bryant McGill

Bryant McGill, Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life

“As she drove away she thought about the flowers she'd sketched for him. Billy buttons. She'd drawn one after the other, bright balls of yellow on skinny stems, over and over again, covering the paper, except for the far right corner where she'd written their meaning.
My gratitude.
Holly Ringland, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart
