Gotthold Ephraim Lessing Quote

All our discontents about what we want appeared to me to spring from the want of thankfulness for what we have.

Meekness: Uncommon patience in planning a revenge that is worth while

I learned to look more upon the bright side of my condition, and less upon the dark side, and to consider what I enjoyed rather than what I wanted.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude

Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back

There are few finer excesses in the world than an excess of gratitude
