Thanksgiving thoughts

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you,"
that would suffice.
~Meister Eckhart

Thanksgiving 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. Powell

As we express our gratitude,
we must never forget that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words, but to live by them.
~John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Let us remember that, as much has been given us,
much will be expected from us,
and that true homage comes from the heart
as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.
~Theodore Roosevelt
