We can be thankful for Chesterton's appreciation for thankfulness and gratitude!
“The aim of life is appreciation; there is no sense in not appreciating things; and there is no sense in having more of them if you have less appreciation of them.”
“When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.”
"The worst moment for an atheist is when he feels a profound sense of gratitude and has no one to thank."
“You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.”
“When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?”
"The test of happiness is gratitude."
"The best kind of giving is thanksgiving."
