It feels good to have your work respected again.
EminemA man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.
Henry David ThoreauIt is just that we should be grateful, not only to those with whose views we may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views; for these also contributed something, by developing before us the powers of thought.
AristotleFame will go by and, so long, I’ve had you, fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle. So at least it’s something I experience, but that’s not where I live.
Marilyn MonroeI care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness. Heaven knows that John the Baptist was not more eager to get all his fellow sinners into the Jordan than I to baptize all of mine in the beauty of God’s mountains.
John MuirNo better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.
Oscar WildeGive yourself a gift of five minutes of contemplation in awe of everything you see around you. Go outside and turn your attention to the many miracles around you. This five-minute-a-day regimen of appreciation and gratitude will help you to focus your life in awe.
Wayne DyerI was always very curious as a young man about why older writers who I met seemed so indifferent to what was going on, whereas I, in my 20s, was reading everything. Everything seemed important. But they were only interested in the writers they admired when they were young, and I didn’t understand it then, but now, now I understand it.
Paul AusterWorld belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity.
Dalai LamaI owe the best of myself to geology, but everything it has taught me tends to turn me away from dead things.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinMy main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.
Virat KohliIt’s so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think that’s what I get from these older black women, that every soul is to be cherished, that every flower Is to bloom.
Alice WalkerUnderstand, our police officers put their lives on the line for us every single day. They’ve got a tough job to do to maintain public safety and hold accountable those who break the law.
Barack ObamaThere are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.
Friedrich NietzscheTruly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
Albert CamusNo; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?
Bertrand RussellNext to excellence is the appreciation of it.
William Makepeace ThackerayI walk every day, and I look at the mountains and the fields and the small city, and I say: ‚Oh my God, what a blessing.‘ Then you realise it’s important to put it in a context beyond this woman, this man, this city, this country, this universe.
Paulo CoelhoJoy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift.
Albert EinsteinThere are very few people who really appreciate my shows. People come to the show and they pay and they enjoy it, but I don’t really think most people really understand what they’ve seen.
Jerry SeinfeldI’ve always loved black culture; I don’t know any other way to put it. Since I was a kid I loved music and early jazz, Sly and the Family Stone. I’m older – I’m in my early 50s – so you’ll have to excuse me. That was always very exciting to me to connect to the culture on that level.
Robert GreeneHe who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Albert EinsteinI am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.
Henry David ThoreauWe become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaWe can’t all be heroes, because somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by.
Will RogersThe golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.
George EliotWe love things we love what they are.
Robert FrostIn America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world.
Barack ObamaI love those who do not know how to live for today.
Friedrich NietzscheThe way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.
Gilbert K. ChestertonWhen someone bestows something on you, no matter how true it is, when someone says, ‚Sexiest Man Alive,‘ I’m honestly going, ‚Thank you. Right on.‘ For me, it’s never canceled out anything, it’s never made me go, ‚Does this make me less talented of an actor?‘
Matthew McConaugheyYou’ve got to invest in the world, you’ve got to read, you’ve got to go to art galleries, you’ve got to find out the names of plants. You’ve got to start to love the world and know about the whole genius of the human race. We’re amazing people.
Vivienne WestwoodIt’s a blessing that South Africa has a man like Nelson Mandela.
Desmond TutuOne of the finest statesmen of the present time is also a first-class scout, and that is Mr. Roosevelt, the late President of the United States of America.
Robert Baden-PowellAll the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.
Carl JungI am not the first Buddha who came upon Earth, nor shall I be the last. In due time, another Buddha will arise in the world – a Holy One, a supremely enlightened One, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals.
BuddhaFear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.
Thich Nhat HanhI guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.
Neil ArmstrongBeing ‚contented‘ ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought not to mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position.
Gilbert K. ChestertonMy mother made me truly appreciate women.
DrakeLife is precious.
John KennedyThe older I get, the better I understand that every day is a gift.
Joel OsteenMost human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.
Aldous HuxleyI don’t want flowers or candy or anything like that. I just want somebody to say, ‚Wow, you’ve done a great job.‘
Abby Lee MillerThere is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.
Elbert HubbardInstead of being critical of people in authority over you and envious of their position, be happy you’re not responsible for everything they have to do. Instead of piling on complaints, thank them for what they do. Overwhelm them with encouragement and appreciation!
Joyce MeyerContinuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm.
Blaise PascalIt was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
Mark TwainI want to thank my Eritrean fans for feeling connected to me and for supporting me. I feel extremely grateful.
Nipsey HussleWhat we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
Helen KellerIf a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
Henry David ThoreauThe only things one can admire at length are those one admires without knowing why.
Eleanor RooseveltThe ideas associated with the problems of the development of science, as far as I can see by looking around me, are not of the kind that everyone appreciates.
Richard P. FeynmanWhen the well is dry, they know the worth of water.
Benjamin FranklinHere in America, we don’t let our differences tear us apart. Not here. Because we know that our greatness comes from when we appreciate each other’s strengths, when we learn from each other, when we lean on each other, because in this country, it’s never been each person for themselves. No, we’re all in this together. We always have been.
Michelle ObamaWe all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. Founder of the Republican Party.
Barack ObamaMy mother was a dominant force in our family. And I always saw her as the leader. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men.
Dolores HuertaTell your wife often how terrific she looks.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.The way to know life is to love many things.
Vincent Van GoghThe last thing you want is to not be recognized for all of the hard work you put in.
