Gratitude Quotes

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends... Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
William Arthur Ward
-

There is no benefit so large that malignity will not lessen it; none so narrow that a good interpretation will not enlarge it.
Seneca the Younger

There is nothing that we can properly call our own but our time, and yet everybody fools us out of it who has a mind to do it. If a man borrows a paltry sum of money, there must needs be bonds and securities, and every common civility is presently charged upon account. But he who has my time thinks he owes me nothing for it, though it be a debt that gratitude itself can never repay.
Seneca the Younger

If you know that all is well, you know all you need to know. And if you know life is supposed to be fun, you know more than almost anybody else knows.
Esther Hicks

Esther Hicks

Albert Camus

Anthony Robbins

I felt so full of gratitude and humility that I clasped my hands in front of me, closed my eyes and said a silent prayer of thanks to God... I had at last achieved something I'd wanted for so long... My insides bubbled with happiness. It was a dream come true.
Cathy Freeman

The only deep emotion I occasionally felt in these affairs was gratitude, when all was going well and I was left, not only peace, but freedom to come and go--never kinder and gayer with one woman than when I had just left another's bed, as if I extended to all others the debt I had just contracted toward one of them.
Albert Camus
-
Maybe the only thing worse than having to give gratitude constantlyall the time, is having to accept it.
William Faulkner
