Eyes see only light, ears hear only sound, but a listening heart perceives meaning.

The root of joy is gratefulness...It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.

A single crocus blossom ought to be enough to convince our heart that springtime, no matter how predictable, is somehow a gift, gratuitous, gratis, a grace.

Everything is a gift. The degree to which we are awake to this truth is a measure of our gratefullness, and gratefullness is a measure of our aliveness.

We are never more than one grateful thought away from peace of heart.

Gratefulness is the inner gesture of giving meaning to our life by receiving life as gift.

Love wholeheartedly, be surprised, give thanks and praise then you will discover the fullness of your life.

If you learn to respond as if it’s the first day in your life and the very last day, then you will have spent this day very well.

Any place is sacred ground, for it can become a place of encounter with the divine Presence.

Look closely and you will find that people are happy because they are grateful. The opposite of gratefulness is just taking everything for granted.

Gratefulness has the courage to trust and so overcomes fear.

Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.

Well, I am David Gilmour, the voice and guitar of Pink Floyd. I have been since I was 21.

I've never been reckless - it's always calculated. I'm mischievous, but I'm calculated.

I believe that the high rates of property crime (and some of the increase in violent crime) are part of the price you pay for freedom.

The audience bursts into laughter. With the tragic gag I don't expect the audience to laugh (if they do, I have failed) but I expect a black silence from them that is almost as violent: as laughter.

Suckas on my jock when I walk down the block, I really don't care if you're jealous or not.

We have to tackle the triple malady which holds our villages fast in its grip; want of corporate sanitation, deficient diet and inertia.

I'm always worried about the sitters - are they cold, are they hot, are they comfortable?

I don't believe in luck. Luck is just preparation meeting the moment of opportunity.

The game has a cleanness. If you do a good job, the numbers say so. You don't have to ask anyone or play politics. You don't have to wait for the reviews.
