9 ENLIGHTENING and INSPIRING QUOTES ABOUT THE POWER OF GRATITUDE
Wisdom quotes from Charles Dickens, Og Mandingo, Rhonda Byrne, Dale Carnegie, Tecumseh and others
REFLECT ON YOUR BLESSINGS
Reflect upon your present blessings,
Of which every man has plenty,
Not on your past misfortunes
Of which all men have some.
—Charles Dickens
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
Count your blessings—
Once you realize how valuable
You are and how much
You have going for you,
The smiles will return,
The sun will break out,
The music will play and
You will finally be able to
Move forward with the life
Intended for you with grace,
Strength, courage and confidence.
—Og Mandingo
ALWAYS SOMETHING
There is always, always, always
Something to be grateful for.
—Rhonda Byrne
THE ROOT OF JOY
The root of joy is gratefulness.
It is not joy that makes us grateful—
It is gratitude that makes us joyful.
—Brother David Steindl-Rast
EVERY NEW DAY
Every day is a new life
To a wise man.
—Dale Carnegie
THE MOTHER OF VIRTUES
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues
But parent of all the others.
—Marcus Tullius Cicero
GIVING THANKS
If you see no reason for giving thanks,
The fault lies only in your self.
—Tecumseh
THE FINEST BLOSSOM
Gratitude is the finest blossom
Which springs from the soul.
—Henry Ward Beecher
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
Concentrate on counting your blessings
And you will have little time for counting anything else.
—Woodrow Kroll
