Thankful Quotes

These thankful quotes to live by show what it means to have a heart filled life; a life where you demonstrate that you are not prone to believe that you deserve what you have without having to work, or to snub your nose at those less fortunate. You show your thanks for the opportunities that are presented to you recognizing that thousands upon thousands in this world do not or will not ever have these opportunities.

To be thankful for what you have the opportunity to attain is to be
thankful that you have a choice. Thousands upon thousands do not have the same opportunities nor will they ever.
Byron Pulsifer

G.K. Chesterton
