It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.
We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”
~ Albert Schweitzer ~

“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” ~ G. K. Chesterton ~
“The only people with whom you should try to get even, are those who have helped you.”
~ John E. Southard ~
“A sensible thanksgiving for mercies received is a mighty prayer in the spirit of God. It prevails with him unspeakably.” ~ John Bunyan ~
