The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!

Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song.

How wonderful it would be if we could help our children and grandchildren to learn thanksgiving at an early age. Thanksgiving opens the doors. It changes a child's personality. A child is resentful, negative-or thankful. Thankful children want to give, they radiate happiness, they draw people. 

 

- Sir John Templeton

 

如果我们能帮助我们的孩子和孙儿们从小学会感恩该多好啊。感恩打开许多扇大门。感恩改变孩子的性格。有充满愤恨的小孩，有消极的小孩，也有感恩的小孩。感恩的小孩愿意给予，他们散发出快乐的气息，让人们不由得想靠近。

 

——约翰•邓普顿爵士

 

 

Gratitude ... goes beyond the "mine" and "thine" and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now 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

 

感激超越你我，传达出生命中的一切皆是纯洁礼物的真理。过去我总是把感激当作收到礼物时的自发反应，但现在我意识到感激还可以作为生命的教条。根据感激的教条，我本身和我所拥有的一切都是爱的礼物，值得欢喜庆祝的礼物。

 

——卢云神父

 

 

Do not get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time. 

 

- Galatians 6:9

 

不要厌倦做好事。不要沮丧和放弃，因为终有一天我们会收获许多祝福。

 

——（新约圣经中的）迦拉太书6:9

 

 

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

 

当我们表达自己的感激之情时，我们必须永远铭记最大的感激不是言语能表达的，而是要常怀感恩之心。

 

——肯尼迪
