Contemplation

     "The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings." (Eric Hoffer)

     "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." (William Arthur Ward)

     "To be grateful for all life's blessings... is the best condition for a happy life.  A joke, a good meal, a fine spring day, a work of art, a human personality, a voice, a glance -- but this is not all.  For there is another kind of gratitude... the feeling that makes us thankful for suffering, for the hard and heavy things of life, for the deepening of our natures which perhaps only suffering can bring." (Thomas Mann)

Laugh, Smile, Enjoy

     "Imitation is the sincerest form of television." (Fred Allen)

     "I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me." (Fred Allen)

     "A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized." (Fred Allen)

     "When you get through all the phony tinsel of Hollywood, you find the genuine tinsel underneath." (Fred Allen)
