Thanksgiving Thoughts, Part I


Heap high the board with plenteous cheer and gather to the feast,
And toast the sturdy Pilgrim band whose courage never ceased.
~Alice W. Brotherton


The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts.  No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving. 
~H.U. Westermayer


If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice.  
~Meister Eckhart


As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.  
~John Fitzgerald Kennedy


Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.  
~Edward Sandford Martin
On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment - halftime.  
~Author Unknown
