Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude. Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will make the goal. Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others. Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build their philosophy of life.
Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul. Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.
