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

如果我们能帮助我们的孩子和孙儿们从小学会感恩该多好啊。感恩打开许多扇大门。感恩改变孩子的性格。有充满愤恨的小孩，有消极的小孩，也有感恩的小孩。感恩的小孩愿意给予，他们散发出快乐的气息，让人们不由得想靠近。

——约翰?邓普顿爵士

Gratitude¹¹ ... 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 awareness¹² of gifts received, but now I realize that gratitude can also be lived as a discipline. The discipline of gratitude is the explicit¹³ effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated¹⁴ with joy.

- Henri J. M. Nouwen

感激超越你我，传达出生命中的一切皆是纯洁礼物的真理。过去我总是把感激当作收到礼物时的自发反应，但现在我意识到感激还可以作为生命的教条。根据感激的教条，我本身和我所拥有的一切都是爱的礼物，值得欢喜庆祝的礼物。

——卢云神父

Do not get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing⁷ at the appropriate time.

- Galatians 6:9

不要厌倦做好事。不要沮丧和放弃，因为终有一天我们会收获许多祝福。

——（新约圣经中的）迦拉太书6:9

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation¹⁵ is not to utter words, but to live by them.

- John Fitzgerald Kennedy

当我们表达自己的感激之情时，我们必须永远铭记最大的感激不是言语能表达的，而是要常怀感恩之心。

——肯尼迪
