Are you celebrating Thanksgiving with your family and friends? Here is a selection of great Thanksgiving quotes.
How wonderful it would be if we could help our children and grandchildren to learn thanksgiving at an early age. Thanksgiving opens the doors. It changes a child’s personality. A child is resentful, negative-or thankful. Thankful children want to give, they radiate happiness, they draw people.
- Sir John Templeton“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
— John F. KennedyThanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude.
- E.P. PowellThanksgiving is the day when you turn to another family member and say, “How long has Mom been drinking like this?” My Mom, after six Bloody Marys looks at the turkey and goes, “Here, kitty, kitty.” – David Letterman
The unthankful heart… discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
-Henry Ward BeecherFor each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night. For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends.
-Ralph Waldo EmersonDear Lord; we beg but one boon more: Peace in the hearts of all men living, peace in the whole world this Thanksgiving.
-Joseph AuslanderI celebrated Thanksgiving in the traditional way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house; we had an enormous feast. And then I killed them and took their land.
- Jon Stewart“He who thanks but with the lips Thanks but in part;
The full, the true Thanksgiving Comes from the heart.”
-J.A. SheddWe’re having something a little different this year for Thanksgiving. Instead of a turkey, we’re having a swan. You get more stuffing.
- George CarlinYou know that just before that first Thanksgiving dinner there was one wise, old Native American woman saying, “Don’t feed them. If you feed them, they’ll never leave.
- Dylan Brody“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him,
and bless his name. For the Lord is good…”[Psalm 100:4, 5a]”
Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.
- Oprah Winfrey
