Albert Schweitzer

At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Charles Dickens

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your misfortunes of which all men have some.

Zig Ziglar

Blessed are those that can give without remembering and receive without forgetting.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

You say, If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied. You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.

Eric Hoffer, American philosopher.

The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others

C.S. Lewis

Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.

President-Elect Barack Obama

As Americans, we can take enormous pride in the fact that courage has been inspired by our own struggle for freedom, by the tradition of democratic law secured by our forefathers and enshrined in our Constitution. It is a tradition that says all men are created equal under the law and that no one is above it.

President Harry Truman

America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination, and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.
