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

The hope that is left after all your hopes are gone - that is pure hope, rooted in the heart.

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

Gratefulness is that fullness of life for which we are all thirsting.

If you learn to respond as if it’s the first day in your life and the very last day, then you will have spent this day very well.

One single gift acknowledged in gratefulness has the power to dissolve the ties of our alienation.

By looking up, by raising our eyes above our limited horizon, we are more likely to perceive the blessings hidden in affliction.
