Aesop Quote

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

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.

I frequently sat down to meat with thankfulness, and admired the hand of God's providence, which had thus spread my table in the wilderness.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

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