Saying Grace, by Norman Rockwell
Saturday Evening Post, Nov. 24, 1951, cover
 
 

To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude
means to take nothing for granted,
but to always seek out and value the kind
that will stand behind the action.
Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course.
Everything originates in a will for the good,
which is directed at you.
Train yourself never to put off the word
or action for the expression of gratitude.

                                         ~ Albert Schweitzer
 
 

Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity:
it must be produced and discharged
and used up in order to exist at all.

                                        ~ William Faulkner
 
 

When you dream in color,
it's a pigment of your imagination.
                     ~ Anon.
