How We Say Thank You -What People Say About Gratitude

Gratitude is a great thing. Many people know that gratitude is what lights the fuel in the fire of selflessness. And there are many famous quotes about gratitude as they were contemplated by a lot of people, the famous, the smart, and everyone in between. Here are some gratitude quotes that really struck a chord in me:

Gratitude Quotes

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful. - Buddha

We must all remember to be thankful even for the little things. In this quotation from Buddha, I believe he is thankful for having a struggle or a problem in his day, for with trials and tribulations come learning and maturity. And as long as a person is alive, there will always be something to be thankful for.

The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings. - Eric Hoffer

A lot of people usually count their misfortunes rather than their blessings, because most of us take the good things that occur in our lives for granted. A truly happy man has learned that there is always something to be thankful for, and thus lives his life not counting the things that go wrong, but counting every little thing that goes right.

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

It is always the best way to express gratitude not just by our words, but through our actions. Plenty of times, a kind act from another person would echo deep in our souls and really make a difference in our lives and the way we view the world.

While saying thank you verbally is already something to be joyous about, seeing the person they helped improve their lives for the better, both inwardly and outwardly, because of the kindness that they delivered onto them is truly the best manifestation of gratitude one can hope for.

As you read these words (and many others; gratitude quotes can be found all over the place) let yourself be reminded of all the good things that has happened in your life; to count them one by one, and soon you will realize that despite whatever circumstance you may be in right now, you have a lot to be thankful for.
