Albert Clarke
When asked if my cup is half-full or half-empty my only response is that I am thankful I have a cup.

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant,
to enact gratitude is generous and noble,
but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.
Johannes A. Gaertner
Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.
Christine Northrup
Everything is given to me and I pass it on. You must give if you want to receive. Let the center of your being be one of giving, giving, giving. You can't give too much, and you will discover you cannot give without receiving.
Peace Pilgrim
O Lord that lends me life, lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!
William Shakespeare
I asked for strength that I might achieve; I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things; I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy; I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men; I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life; I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I had asked for, but everything that I had hoped for. Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered; I am, among all men, most richly blessed. Prayer of an Unknown Confederate Soldier
If you don't like something change it.
If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Don't complain.
Maya Angelou
Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.
Joseph Campbell
Gratitude is the heart's memory.
