Praise is the best auxiliary to prayer; and he who most bears in mind what has been done for him by God will be most emboldened to supplicate fresh gifts from above. (Quote by - Henry Melville)

Once, when my feet were bare, And I had not the means of obtaining shoes I came to the chief of Kufah In a state of much dejection, And saw there a man who had no feet. I returned thanks to God And acknowledged his mercies, And endured my want of shoes with patience. (Quote by - Sadi)

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. (Quote by - David - Psalm 57:7 - 9)

Do not fancy, as too many do, that thou canst praise God by singing hymns to Him in church once a week, and disobeying Him all the week long. He asks of thee works as well as words; and more, he asks of thee works first and words after. (Quote by - Charles Kingsley)

He who receives a good turn should never forget it; he who does one should never remember it. (Quote by - Charron)

Gratitude is born in hearts that take time to count past mercies. (Quote by - Charles E. Jefferson)

The funny thing about Thanksgiving, or any huge meal, is that you spend 12 hours shopping for it and then chopping and cooking and braising and blanching. Then it takes 20 minutes to eat it and everybody sort of sits around in a food coma, and then it takes four hours to clean it up. (Quote by - Ted Allen)

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

O Lord that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)

Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year. And then discover once a year is way too often. (Quote by - Johnny Carson)

There is one day that is ours. There is one day when all we Americans who are not self-made go back to the old home to eat saleratus biscuits and marvel how much nearer to the porch the old pump looks than it used to. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American. (Quote by - O. Henry)

True thanksgiving means that we need to thank God for what He has done for us, and not to tell Him what we have done for Him. (Quote by - George R. Hendrick)

Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day. (Quote by - Robert Caspar Lintner)

Gluttony and surfeiting are no proper occasions for thanksgiving. (Quote by - Charles Lamb)

We can always find something to be thankful for, and there may be reasons why we ought to be thankful for even those dispensations which appear dark and frowning. (Quote by - Albert Barnes)
