Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic. This is a most searching and true diagnosis. Gratitude can be a vaccine that can prevent the invasion of a disgruntled attitude. As antitoxins prevent the disastrous effects of certain poisons and diseases, thanksgiving destroys the poison of faultfinding and grumbling. When trouble has smitten us, a spirit of thanksgiving is a soothing antiseptic.
John Henry JowettEvery virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.
John Henry JowettAll vital praying makes a drain on a man's vitality. True intercession is a sacrifice, a bleeding sacrifice.
