"The observance of Thanksgiving Day-as a function-has..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“Praise is well, compliment is well, but affection-that is the last and most precious reward that any man can win, whether by character or achievement.”

“Be good and you will be lonely.”

“Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.”

“Perhaps no custom reveals our character as a Nation so clearly as our celebration of Thanksgiving Day.”

“Thanksgiving speaks in clear, crisp tones of forgotten terms, like integrity - bravery - respect - freedom - discipline - sacrifice - godliness.”

“What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?”

“I was in love with a beautiful blonde once. She drove me to drink. That's the one thing I'm indebted to her for.”

“When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others.”

“Give yourself a gift: the present moment.”
