6. "If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice." ~ Meister Eckhart 
 
7. "Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence." ~ Erma Bombeck 
 
8. "Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." ~ WT Purkiser 
 
9. "Stand up, on this Thanksgiving Day, stand upon your feet. Believe in man. Soberly and with clear eyes, believe in your own time and place. There is not, and there never has been a better time, or a better place to live in." ~ Phillips Brooks 
 
10. "Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." ~ Melody Beattie 
 
11. An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day. ~Irv Kupcinet
