Joy is the simplest form of gratitude.
Karl Barth
Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
Brian Tracy
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
William Arthur Ward
Gratitude is the state of mind of thankfulness. As it is cultivated, we experience an increase in our "sympathetic joy," our happiness at another's happiness. Just as in the cultivation of compassion, we may feel the pain of others, so we may begin to feel their joy as well. And it doesn't stop there.
Stephen Levine
Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and happiness inside. No matter what is going on outside of us, there's always something we could be grateful for.
Barry Neil Kaufman
The more you recognize and express gratitude for the things you have, the more things you will have to express gratitude for.
Zig Ziglar
Join me in the pure atmosphere of gratitude For life.
Hafiz of Persia
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.
Denis Waitley
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
John F. Kennedy
I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
Oprah Winfrey
A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.
Cicero
Expressing gratitude is a natural state of being and reminds us that we are all connected.
Valerie Elster
Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.
Theodore Roosevelt
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Melody Beattie
What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it. Opportunities, relationships, even money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life.
Oprah Winfrey
Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.
William Faulkner
