Chesterton on thankfulness
Posted by thinkpoint on November 23, 2007
“Nothing taken for granted; everything received with gratitude; everything passed on with grace.”
“You say grace before meals…. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.”
“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”
