To find the magnificence of life, count your blessings.

My most memorable meal is every Thanksgiving. I love the food: the turkey and stuffing; the sweet potatoes and rice, which come from my mother's Southern heritage; the mashed potatoes, which come from my wife's Midwestern roots; the Campbell's green-bean casserole; and of course, pumpkin pie.

If you think Independence Day is America's defining holiday, think again. Thanksgiving deserves that title, hands-down.

I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.

For what I have received may the Lord make me truly thankful. And more truly for what I have not received.

If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get.

To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.

We're getting ready to sit down at the table and have Thanksgiving, and there's people that are not with their families. There are people that are in dangerous areas, putting their lives on the line to keep our country free, and I think that's something we should all celebrate every day.

It is now common knowledge that the average American gains 7 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.

If no one shopped on Thanksgiving Day, the stores wouldn't open. End of story. I say we all take the pledge and stay home. Thanksgiving is a day to give thanks for what you have, not to save a few dollars to get more.

Christians were instructed to serve others, and the thanksgiving was for the grace of God and the fact that God offered a way for man to return to a positive relationship with Him.

If you think about a Thanksgiving dinner, it's really like making a large chicken.

Dear Lord; we beg but one boon more: Peace in the hearts of all men living, peace in the whole world this Thanksgiving.

My fondest memories are generally the day after Thanksgiving. I get the total decorating Christmas itch.

I love chicken. I would eat chicken fingers on Thanksgiving if it were socially acceptable.

I miss both of my parents terribly every day, but especially as we approach Thanksgiving. We always came together as a family for that holiday, playing capture the flag and touch football and laughing a lot.

Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song.

I'm thankful for every moment.

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.
