Here are some famous quotes on Gratitude.

And remember to be grateful most of all to your enemies, for it is they who are often our greatest teachers.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
–Henry Ward Beecher

In order to develop…a motivation of compassion, we must have tolerance, patience. In the practice of tolerance, one’s enemy is the best teacher. Your enemy can teach you tolerance whereas your teacher or parents cannot. Thus from this viewpoint, an enemy is actually very helpful - the best of friends, the best of teachers.
–H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama

Gratitude is heaven itself.
–William Blake

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

When eating bamboo sprouts, remember the man who planted them.
–Chinese Proverb

Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.

–William Faulkner

Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted–a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.
–Rabbi Harold Kushner

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
–William Arthur Ward

No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here.
–John Greenleaf Whittier

Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.
–John Henry Jowett

Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.
–Edward Sandford Martin

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
–Albert Schweitzer

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
–Buddha

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
–Cicero

I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy.
–Henri J. M. Nouwen

Some complain that roses have thorns, others rejoice that thorns have roses!
–Unknown

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you.
This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
–Mark Twain

I do not think of all the misery, but of the glory that remains. Go outside into the fields, nature and the sun, go out and seek happiness in yourself and in God. Think of the beauty that again and again discharges itself within and without you and be happy.
–Anne Frank

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
