Appreciation Quotations

There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche

The aim of life is appreciation; there is no sense in not appreciating things; and there is no sense in having more of them if you have less appreciation of them.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Next to excellence is the appreciation of it.
William Makepeace Thackeray

Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.
Voltaire

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
John F. Kennedy
