Saturday Quote

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant,

to enact gratitude is generous and noble,

but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.

Johannes A. Gaertner



I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought;
and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

~G.K. Chesterton



You say grace before meals. All right.
But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.

~G.K. Chesterton



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

Cicero (106-43 B.C.)

It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed
in the same moment.

Naomi Williams, Body, Mind and Spirit
