albert schweitzer: "to educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude."
william faulkner: "gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all."
anne frank: "i do not think of all the misery, but of the glory that remains. go outside into the fields, nature and the sun, go out and seek happiness in yourself and in god. think of the beauty that again and again discharges itself within and without you and be happy."
theodore roosevelt: "let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds."—1901
