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

For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

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

Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, - a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.

– George Herbert

He who thanks but with the lips Thanks but in part; The full, the true Thanksgiving Comes from the heart.

– J.A. Shedd
