Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart.

Thanksgiving, Gratitude, Appreciation

There is nothing that we can properly call our own but our time, and yet everybody fools us out of it who has a mind to do it.

Seneca the Younger
Gratitude, Time, Men

Seneca the Younger
Gratitude, Greatness, Mind

As gratitude is a necessary, and a glorious virtue, so also it is an obvious, a cheap, and an easy one; so obvious that wherever there is life there is a place for it; so cheap, that the covetous man may be gratified without expense, and so easy that the sluggard may be so likewise without labor.

Seneca the Younger
Gratitude, Men, May
