that gratitude for life came from being happy

Rest and be thankful.

Do not let us speak of darker days; let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days: these are great days-- the greatest days our country has ever lived; and we must all thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our stations, to play a part in making these days memorable in the history of our race.

Be sure of your call to every business you go about. Though it is the least business, be sure of your call to it; then, whatever you meet with, you may quiet your heart with this: I know I am where God would have me. Nothing in the world will quiet the heart so much as this: when I meet with any cross, I know I am where God would have me, in my place and calling; I am about the work that God has set me.

To be well skilled in the mystery of Christian contentment is the duty, glory, and excellence of a Christian.

It is but one side of a Christian to endeavour to do what pleases God; you must as well endeavour to be pleased with what God does.

Gratefulness for being an American will give calm and peace to anyone. Our good fortune to be born on this soil, or to have emigrated here, is something we should regularly dwell on, and openly thank God for.

The only true and lasting inspiration for life is genuine love for God, and submitted gratitude that I get to be a part of the redemptive quest.

The gratitude that we encounter helps us believe in the goodness of the world, and strengthens us thereby to do what's good.
