Gratitude

Generosity always wins favor, particularly when accompanied by modesty.

One must be poor to know the luxury of giving.

Goodness is the only investment that never fails.

He best can pity who has felt the woe.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be human. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate. Meredith Grey ABOUT THE AUTHOR B. Ashiedu lives in the UK with her awesome husband. She enjoys exploring museums and new places with her husband.

Take full account of what Excellences you possess, and in gratitude remember how you would hanker after them, if you had them not. Marcus Aurelius

If you want to find happiness, find gratitude. Steve Maraboli

Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend. When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present; love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure; the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth. Sarah Breathnach

Live your life so that the fear of death can never enter your heart. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light. Give thanks for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. And if perchance you see no reason for giving thanks, rest assured the fault is in yourself. Tecumseh Shawnee Chief

They are not poor that have little, but they that desire much. The richest man, whatever his lot, is the one who’s content with his lot. Dutch Proverb

Be thankful to all those people who have hurt you or disappointed you. Because they are the one who made you wise and strong. Anurag Prakash Ray

When we become more fully aware that our success is due in large measure to the loyalty, helpfulness, and encouragement we have received from others, our desire grows to pass on similar gifts. Gratitude spurs us on to prove ourselves worthy of what others have done for us. The spirit of gratitude is a powerful energizer. Wilfred A. Peterson

Gratitude unlocks fullness of life. It imparts a sense of satisfaction and appreciation. In the meantime one should not forget that it is not only word or expression, but make it meaningful and to live up to expectations. Dr. Anil Kr Sinha

Be thankful for what you have. You have no idea how many people would love to have what you've got. Unknown

He that lendeth to another in time of prosperity, shall never want help himself in the time of adversity.

Gratitude is a fruit of great cultivation; you do not find it among gross people.

This was really a compliment to be pleased with— a nice little handsome pat of butter made up by a neat-handed . . . dairy-maid instead of the grease fit only for cartwheels which one is dosed with by the pound.

The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause.

One cares so little for the style in which one’s praises are written.

The applause of a single human being is of a great consequence.

What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise— although the philosophers generally call it “recognition.”

Nothing so soon the drooping Spirits can raise, As Praises from the Men, whom all Men Praise.

A correct answer is like an affectionate kiss.
