Daily Quote:
"As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests" (Vidal, Gore - Language)

Browse Quotations about Gratitude

A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.
Because gratification of a desire leads to the temporary stilling of the mind and the experience of the peaceful, joyful Self it's no wonder that we get hooked on thinking that happiness comes from the satisfaction of desires. This is the meaning of the old adage, Joy is not in things, it is in us.
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.
Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
Do you realize what this means? The fact of being alive... I still find it staggering that I am here at all.
Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
Every professional athlete owes a debt of gratitude to the fans and management, and pays an installment every time he plays. He should never miss a payment.
Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.
For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude.
God has two dwellings; one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.
Grace is available for each of us every day -- our spiritual daily bread -- but we've got to remember to ask for it with a grateful heart and not worry about whether there will be enough for tomorrow.
Gratitude -- the meanest and most sniveling attribute in the world.
Gratitude helps you to grow and expands; gratitude brings you and laughter into your life and into the lives of all those around you.
Gratitude is a duty which ought to be paid, but which none have a right to expect.
