Thanksgiving Quotes
This page is not a collection of Thanksgiving writing. It is made from three others, gratitude, family and happiness, and sorted by quality. A handful of entries mention the holiday itself, from writers as different as Harriet Beecher Stowe, the poet John Keble, Will Carleton, Patton Oswalt and Ted Nugent.
Most of what you will see is general, and it makes good table talk, with more sentiment than usual and less irony. Glance at the flag and the source before you print one on a place card.
Most quoted on thanksgiving:
Pleasure admitted in undue degree
Enslaves the will, nor leaves the judgment free.
We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count."
There comes
For ever something between us and what
We deem our happiness.
