"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." ~ Melody Beattie

"Gratitude is the most passionate transformative force in the cosmos. When we offer thanks to God or to another human being, gratitude gifts us with renewal, reflection, reconnection." ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach

"Everything is a gift. The degree to which we are awake to this truth is a measure of our gratefulness, and gratefulness is a measure of our aliveness."
"In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy."
"Wherever we may come alive, that is the area in which we are spiritual." ~ Brother David Steindl-Rast
