Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

No amount of energy will take the place of thought. A strenuous life with its eyes shut is a kind of wild insanity.

You can never begin to live until you dare to die.

Natural beauty and wonder are priceless heirlooms which God has bestowed upon our nation. How shall we escape the contempt of the coming generation if we suffer this irreplaceable heritage to be wasted?

Gratitude is a two fold love - love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.

Even if we should find another Eden, we would not be fit to enjoy it perfectly nor stay in it forever.

Every country-or at least every country that is fit for habitation-has its own rivers; and every river has its own quality; and it is the part of wisdom to know and love as many as you can, seeing each in the fairest possible light, and receiving from each the best that it has to give.
