Hope has a good memory gratitude a bad one.

In most of mankind gratitude is merely a secret hope of further favors.

Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance chaos to order confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast a house into a home a stranger into a friend.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

Happiness is itself a kind of gratitude.

Too great haste to repay an obligation is a kind of ingratitude.

A great many men's gratitude is nothing but a secret desire to hook in more valuable kindnesses hereafter.

America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed.

On the recollection of so many and great favours and blessings I now with a high sense of gratitude presume to offer up my sincere thanks to the Almighty the Creator and Preserver.
