Pride slays thanksgiving, but an humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.
Henry Ward Beecher

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.
Erma Bombeck

Thanksgiving is a season that is very much in accord with the themes and teachings of Jesus Christ.
John Clayton

Thanksgiving is a time when the world gets to see just how blessed and how workable the Christian system is. The emphasis is not on giving or buying, but on being thankful and expressing that appreciation to God and to one another.
John Clayton

Thanksgiving is nothing but a toast to genocide.
Stephen Evans

Thanksgiving, man. Not a good day to be my pants.
Kevin James

The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Merle Shain

There is no racial or ethnic involvement in Thanksgiving, and people who may be very distant from the Christian system can see the beauty and the positive spirit that comes from the holiday.
John Clayton

There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.
O. Henry

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.
Victor Hugo
