When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
Never say about anything, 'I have lost it,' but only 'I have given it back.'
He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.
If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.
Great debts do not make for gratitude, but for revenge; and if a little benefit is not forgotten, it becomes a gnawing worm.
To live without comparison is to discover the infinite richness of what is right in front of you.
Do not grieve for that which you have not, but rejoice for that which you have.
Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.
To appreciate the beauty of a day, one must have experienced the chill of the night.
It is the mark of an honorable man to remember benefits received, but to be reluctant to remember those he has conferred.
Gratitude is with most people only a strong secret desire to receive greater benefits.
Almost all the world takes pleasure in paying small debts; many show gratitude for moderate benefits; but almost everyone is ungrateful for immense ones.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.
Present moment wonderful moment.
Let your heart be full of gratitude for the gift of life.
There are always flowers for those who want to see them.
In happiness no one remembers the Divine; in suffering everyone cries out. He who remembers in joy will never know sorrow.
Gratitude is the memory of the heart; never forget a kindness received, and let grievances wash away instantly. (Kural 108)
The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes.
When the mind is empty of ambition, every mouthful of simple food tastes like divine nectar.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
