"thank you?"

Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
G.K. Chesterton
You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the
concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and
grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting,
swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before
I dip the pen in the ink.
G.K. Chesterton
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
Grace isn't a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It's a
way to live.

If you count all your assets, you always show a profit.
Robert Quillen
What a miserable thing life is: you're living in clover, only the
clover isn't good enough.
