Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like eating a meal and not digesting it.
The way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.

It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others.
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.
