The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
-Henry Ward Beecher
不懂感恩的心得不到憐憫;讓這個(gè)節(jié)日充滿感恩的心,就像磁石找到鐵一樣,感恩的心也會(huì)收到上天的祝福。
——亨利•沃德•比奇
Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song.
- Konrad von Gesner
感恩節(jié)最美好的一點(diǎn)是把一切事物都定格在純潔的心中,讓每一次感動(dòng)都變成感恩,每一次呼吸都變成贊歌。
——康拉德•馮•格斯納
God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?"
- William A. Ward
上帝每天給了你86400秒鐘的時(shí)間當(dāng)禮物。你可曾用過其中一秒鐘說“謝謝”?
——威廉•A•沃德
An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day.
- Irv Kupcinet
一個(gè)樂觀主義者就是在感恩節(jié)開始嘗試一項(xiàng)新節(jié)食計(jì)劃的人。
——厄夫•庫普茨內(nèi)特
How wonderful it would be if we could help our children and grandchildren to learn thanksgiving at an early age. Thanksgiving opens the doors. It changes a child's personality. A child is resentful, negative-or thankful. Thankful children want to give, they radiate happiness, they draw people.
- Sir John Templeton
如果我們能幫助我們的孩子和孫兒們從小學(xué)會(huì)感恩該多好啊。感恩打開許多扇大門。感恩改變孩子的性格。有充滿憤恨的小孩,有消極的小孩,也有感恩的小孩。感恩的小孩愿意給予,他們散發(fā)出快樂的氣息,讓人們不由得想靠近。
——約翰•鄧普頓爵士
Gratitude ... goes beyond the "mine" and "thine" and claims the truth that all of life is a pure gift. In the past I always thought of gratitude as a spontaneous response to the awareness of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy.
- Henri J. M. Nouwen
感激超越你我,傳達(dá)出生命中的一切皆是純潔禮物的真理。過去我總是把感激當(dāng)作收到禮物時(shí)的自發(fā)反應(yīng),但現(xiàn)在我意識(shí)到感激還可以作為生命的教條。根據(jù)感激的教條,我本身和我所擁有的一切都是愛的禮物,值得歡喜慶祝的禮物。
——盧云神父
Do not get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.
- Galatians 6:9
不要厭倦做好事。不要沮喪和放棄,因?yàn)榻K有一天我們會(huì)收獲許多祝福。
——(新約圣經(jīng)中的)迦拉太書6:9
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
當(dāng)我們表達(dá)自己的感激之情時(shí),我們必須永遠(yuǎn)銘記最大的感激不是言語能表達(dá)的,而是要常懷感恩之心。
——肯尼迪
