Thanksgiving Thoughts, Part I

Heap high the board with plenteous cheer and gather to the feast,

~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.
