One who is ungrateful for little deserves nothing. One who is grateful for little deserves much. One who is grateful for much deserves all.

To be grateful for the little that you have is better than to be dissatisfied for the plenty that you don't.

If you undervalue what you have, you will end up overvaluing what you don't.

Joy in your heart is better than bitterness in your soul.

To appreciate pleasure, someone had to experience pain; to appreciate joy, some had to experience sorrow; to appreciate love, some had to experience heartache; to appreciate freedom, some had to experience fear.

Be happy when you work, thankful when you earn, cautious when you spend, shrewd when you save, and charitable when you give.

Count your summers, not your winters.

Count your smiles, not your frowns.

If you have food on your table, clothes on your back, a roof on your head, and a dream in your heart, you have everything you need in life.
