Prosperity
depends more on wanting what you have than having what you
want.

What sunshine
is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but
trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway,
the good they do is inconceivable.
-- Joseph Addison

Cherish your
visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs
in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the
loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them
will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment;
of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at
last be built.
-- James Allen
1864-1912, British-born

No duty is
more urgent than that of returning thanks.

Thankfulness
is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion
of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words.
Gratitude is shown in acts.
-- Henri Frederic Amiel
1821-1881, Swiss Philosopher,

It is up to us
to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to come
from others, we feel resentful when it doesn't, and when it
does, we may well reject it.
-- Bernard Berkowitz
American Psychoanalyst,
Psychologist
Whatever you
do, make it an offering to me -- the food you eat, the
sacrifices you make, the help you give, even your suffering.
-- Bhagavad Gita
c. BC 400-, Sanskrit Poem
Incorporated Into the Mahabharata
There is a
serious defect in the thinking of someone who wants -- more
than anything else -- to become rich. As long as they don't
have the money, it'll seem like a worthwhile goal. Once they
do, they'll understand how important other things are -- and
have always been.
-- Joseph Brooks
