When you ask your guests to raise their glasses this Thanksgiving, be ready with wise words that encourage a spirit of gratitude all year long—not just on the last Thursday of November. Whether you feel pulled toward deep thoughts from iconic poets, sincere lines from timeless works of literature and theater, or spirited thoughts on the power of gratitude from modern cultural figures (including our founder!), appreciate the power of these well-spoken phrases. We know your loved ones will, too.

     thanksgiving quote by maya angelou        Maya Angelou   "Be present in all things and thankful for all things."               thanksgiving quote by willie nelson        Willie Nelson   "When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around."            pie quote by martha stewart        Martha Stewart   "So the pie isn't perfect? Cut it into wedges. Stay in control, and never panic."            thanksgiving quote by melody beattie        Melody Beattie   "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Say thank you until you mean it. If you say it long enough, you will believe it."             thanksgiving quote by cicero        Marcus Tullius Cicero   "Gratitude is not only the greatest of the virtues, but the parent of all the others."            thanksgiving quote by henry david thoreau        Henry David Thoreau   "I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual."            thanksgiving quote by charles dickens        Charles Dickens   "Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."             thanksgiving quote by john f kennedy        John F. Kennedy   "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them."               thanksgiving quote by oprah        Oprah   "No gesture is too small when done with gratitude."            thanksgiving quote by william shakespeare        William Shakespeare   "I can no other answer make but thanks, and thanks, and ever thanks."             thanksgiving quote by ralph waldo emerson        Ralph Waldo Emerson   "Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude."            thanksgiving quote by epicetus        Epictetus   "He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has."               thanksgiving quote by william wordsworth        William Wordsworth   "All that we behold is full of blessings."            thanksgiving quote by rumi        Rumi   "Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful."            thanksgiving quote by president barack obama        Barack Obama   "Let's be grateful for what we have. Let's be mindful of those who have less. Let's appreciate those who hold a special place in our lives, and make sure that they know it."             thanksgiving quote from a charlie brown thanksgiving        A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving   "And we should be thankful, too.
