Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; but to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude allows.

Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action.

- W. J. Cameron

For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

He who thanks but with the lips
Thanks but in part;
The full, the true Thanksgiving
Comes from the heart.

- J. A. Shedd
