How much more pleasant this world would be if we magnified our blessings the way we magnify our disappointments.

Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books — especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.

Before you ask God to bless you, give Him a reason to.

A grateful heart ... comes through expressing gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His blessings and to those around us for all that they bring into our lives.

It's impossible to give thanks and simultaneously feel fear

All you need are these: certainty of judgment in the present moment; action for the common good in the present moment; and an attitude of gratitude in the present moment for anything that comes your way.

When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ...

A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues.

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.

Gratitude is an opener of locked-up blessings.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

Let those who think I have said too little and those who think I have said too much, forgive me; and let those who think I have said just enough thank God with me.
