Gratefulness is the inner gesture of giving meaning to our life by receiving life as gift.

Gratefulness is the gallantry of a heart ready to rise to the opportunity a given moment offers.

Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.

We are never more than one grateful thought away from peace of heart.

The root of joy is gratefulness...It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.

...our happiness hinges not on good luck; it hinges on peace of heart.

"The Holy Spirit . . . wants to flow through us and realize all these wonderful possibilities in the world - if we only open ourselves and allow it to happen."
