Silent gratitude isn't very much to anyone.

Gratitude is one of the least articulate of the emotions, especially when it is deep.

Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

The simple act of saying 'thank you' is a demonstration of gratitude in response to an experience that was meaningful to a customer or citizen.

Gratitude is a mark of a noble soul and a refined character. We like to be around those who are grateful.

It's wonderful to be grateful. To have that gratitude well out from deep within you and pour out in waves. Once you truly experience this, you will never want to give it up.

'Thank you' is often an admission that you needed something that wasn't being fulfilled or you couldn't do on your own, so you needed someone else. There is also guilt. We think, 'Well, too much time has gone by, and it doesn't matter,' but it does. It always matters.

I started volunteering at an animal shelter, and little by little, my life started getting better. I think that is the secret. It is just being on a mission that is something bigger than me and it's thankless. You do that because it is thankless, and I am not looking for anybody to say, 'Thanks' and 'You are great!'

When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity.
