I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
Gilbert K. ChestertonAn adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThe modern world has far too little understanding of the art of keeping young. Its notion of progress has been to pile one thing on top of another, without caring if each thing was crushed in turn. People forgot that the human soul can enjoy a thing most when there is time to think about it and be thankful for it. And by crowding things together they lost the sense of surprise; and surprise is the secret of joy.
