Quotes for Thanksgiving


"Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action."
- W. J. Cameron

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have
into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order,
confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace
for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
- Melody Beattie "If the only prayer you said in your whole life was 'thank you',
that would suffice."
- Meister Eckhart
“Praise God even when you don’t understand what He is doing.”
- Henry Jacobsen
"The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts.
No Americans have been more impoverished than these who,
nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving."
- H. U. Westermayer "The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies;
but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and,
as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour,
some heavenly blessings!"
- Henry Ward Beecher
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the
highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
- John F. Kennedy
"We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts
are conscious of our treasures."
- Thornton Wilder "Nothing purchased can come close to the renewed sense of
gratitude for having family and friends."
- Courtland Milloy
"Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day."
- Robert Caspar Lintner
"Forever on Thanksgiving Day the heart will find the pathway home."
- Wilbur D. Nesbit "May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!"
- Author Unknown
