3

It’s funny – when I first started as an actor, obviously there were long periods of being idle and all you want to do is work. So if I ever get the compulsion to feel like I should complain or feel like I want to take a break, I just remember how I was before and be very grateful for it.
24
I didn’t play after the Grateful Dead stopped playing. I didn’t touch anything for three or four months, and I just got pretty crazy.

42

I have a lot to be grateful for.
55
I don’t know the vast majority of you personally, and it may sound kind of corny, but I really feel as if we’ve become friends through the years. And you’ve been with me during a lot of good times and some very difficult ones. I can’t tell you how grateful I am.

I’m very grateful for what I have. I’m old enough that I can mort out at any minute without any sense of regret at all. That’s not true. I might look back and think I wish I hadn’t been so selfish when my kids were smaller. But I’m not overwhelmed by regret.
62
If I could teach people to be grateful, we could have an amazing world where negativity could not grow and foster, and children would have a smile on their face.

95
America’s men and women in uniform bravely defend our nation and our values. Their skill, dedication, and valor are the envy of the world.

I really know what it’s like to work and live every moment now, and I’m really grateful for that.

104
I grew up surrounded by all types of cultures – French, Indian, Arabic – a melting pot of cultures, sounds, foods, people, and religions. It opened my eyes early, and I’m grateful for that. It’s not about success in one area; it’s about exploring the world musically and spending time in those places whenever you can.
105

108
I have moments where I feel incredibly ugly or fat, and it sucks, you know? I’ll usually try to keep a positive attitude because I’m really so grateful for where I am and the life I get to live, but I definitely have to work hard not to feel insecure.
109
I have a relationship with New Line, so I’m grateful to them for taking a punt on me – both for ‘We’re The Millers’ and ‘It’.

I’m very grateful and fully aware that 90 percent of actors are not working. Going from public school teacher to a show like ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, I love what I do.

Like most actors, I’ve always been grateful for Chinese restaurants; they were often the only places that stayed open late enough for performers to get hot food after the show.
116
Well, to tell you the straight honest truth, it was like a Grateful Dead cover band. I didn’t feel – and nothing against the guys – I didn’t feel that they were opening up like they should. I’ll tell you what, with guitar players, Steven has what I like in guitar players.
117
To be honored by your peers is incredibly gratifying and I am so thankful to my colleagues across the league for this recognition.

118
I’ve been grateful that ‘Time’s’ reach and mandate is so broad; anything you’re interested in, you can usually write about.
119

At a show, I’ll look out from the stage and see a woman with a pearl necklace next to a guy in a Grateful Dead T-shirt next to a young kid with his mom. It’s fun to see them all together.
125

Every day, I like to wake up and remind myself to be grateful of the simple things.

130
I’m too grateful to be hateful. I am too blessed to be stressed.
131
I say ‘spectacle’ rather than ‘story’ because in the end, it isn’t the intricacies of narrative that draw us to horror films. When it’s there, I’m grateful for the director’s skill at telling an exquisitely nuanced tale filled with psychological insight, but it is the spectacles that I take home with me.
132
I was at a point where I was ready to say I am what I am because of what I am and if you like me I’m grateful, and if you don’t, what am I going to do about it?
133

134
I’m just grateful for the opportunities that have come my way.
135
I guess the most important thing for us is that the kids work hard and they are grateful for the life they lead – that they know it doesn’t come easy.
136

137
One of the things that comedy has given me over the years is a really good ability to laugh at myself and to not take things that don’t matter too much too seriously. I feel that very little offends me anymore and I’m really grateful for that because I think I was a pretty uptight little kid.
138
Ever since I found out I got the part on ‘Gilmore Girls,’ my life has been changing in so many ways. It seems as though all we get is good news. I’m just so grateful to be a part of it. It’s a wholesome show with an edge. I have no idea how we pull it off.
139
I’m grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places; people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to.
140

141
I’ve been very grateful and humbled by the fact that young people really dig Joy Division’s music. It’s a great testament to the chemistry and the songwriting prowess between the four original members.
142
Although it was hard to be traded, I have no hard feelings. I’m grateful to Dan Gilbert and the Cavs organization for 12 amazing years. I know I’m very fortunate. I’m leaving one great team and joining another. I can’t wait to put on my new Warrior jersey.
143
Zappa was very technical and impressed by things that were musically challenging – weird time signatures, strange keys, awkward chord sequences. Zappa was important to me as an example of everything I didn’t want to do. I’m very grateful to him, actually.
144
Let us be grateful to the mirror for revealing to us our appearance only.
145
That said, I should also add that I learned a great deal from being allowed in these privileged circles and am grateful for the opportunity to have worked closely with some of the most powerful and successful people in the business including Steven Spielberg and Ted Turner.
146
Well, to tell you the straight honest truth, it was like a Grateful Dead cover band. I didn’t feel – and nothing against the guys – I didn’t feel that they were opening up like they should. I’ll tell you what, with guitar players, Steven has what I like in guitar players.
147
So it’s a mistake for someone to think that they bailed New York out. They did assist us, for which we are grateful, but it’s a mistake to say we bailed New York out by giving them a grant of money to help those poor people who throw it away on welfare.
148
I’m grateful for my health, glad I’m making people laugh, glad my wife still likes me after a lotta years, grateful my daughter is growing, glad I don’t take myself too seriously, glad L.A. has Astro Burger, grateful to be coming home to Harlem soon. It’s a gratitude list. It works.
149
The skills you acquire can always be effectively redeployed. You will look back on setbacks and be grateful for the catalyst that came not a moment too soon.
150

151
Oprah has been a true inspiration to me, so I’m truly grateful both to her for taking the time to speak with me, and to the folks at ‘DWTS’ who set it all up.
152

The Oscar made me a star, and I’m grateful. But I feel had I not won the Oscar I wouldn’t have gotten into the messes I did in my personal life.

157
Writing is never, ever easy but I wake up every morning grateful for the gift of being able to do this.
158
Looking back, I can genuinely say that I am truly grateful that my parents sheltered us from the public eye. This may sound like an easy task, but it was probably the hardest thing they had to figure out as parents – how to give their kids a normal childhood even though they were always in the spotlight.
159
My mother was a tremendous influence – and still is – on my brothers and me in terms of the work ethic and values and making sure that we never forget where we’ve come from and are grateful for what we’ve got.
160
I am grateful for all the moments that I have, and I’m moving forward one step at a time to the future.

162
I am much more grateful and linked to Real Madrid than to Barcelona.
163

164
The secret to it all is just to enjoy what you’re doing. This is not working at the coal face, this is not sweeping behind a restaurant. It’s work, but it’s not work. It gives me a different type of energy. I’m grateful for that.
165
Music is everything to me, and I’m most grateful that it’s all working out.
166
It 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.
167
Our troops are committed to bringing security to Iraq while its government matures. American forces will continue to accomplish their mission with caution, precision and honor with the thanks of a grateful nation.

170
I am so grateful to everybody that supports the Sheckler Foundation, and gives us the ability to continue to help kids and injured action sports athletes.
171
Sometimes you give birth to something or you’re part of a team that gives birth to an idea, and it grows and has a whole life of its own, and you feel grateful. It’s just so humbling.
172
I’m privileged and grateful to lead The Walt Disney Company and our talented, dedicated team at this exciting time.
173
Life is not over because you have diabetes. Make the most of what you have, be grateful.
174
It’s wonderful to be grateful. To have that gratitude well out from deep within you and pour out in waves. Once you truly experience this, you will never want to give it up.
175
I’m grateful I’ve got my mind. I can take care of my own business.
176
God uses singers in a mighty way, and I am grateful.
177
I’m immensely grateful for the precious gift my mother has given me. She is my hero today and every day.
178
Corporations do not pay taxes, they collect them, passing the burden to consumers as a cost of production. And corporate taxation is a feast of rent-seeking – a cornucopia of credits, exemptions and other subsidies conferred by the political class on favored, and grateful, corporations.
179
I’m very grateful for the experience at NBC.
180
Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining – it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn’t solve any problems.
181
I’m not an extravagant man. The fact that I can have a coffee out whenever I want still makes me feel grateful.
182
Any time anyone says anything nice about me, whether it’s Lady Gaga or your neighbor, it’s a nice feeling, I’m very grateful for it. It’s very helpful for your career. Every time someone says something complimentary it introduces you to their audience. It gives you credibility.
183
I went to Ithaca, found the Grateful Dead and my life was changed.
184
People often ask writers where they get their inspiration, and for me, the short answer is that I haven’t a clue; I’m just grateful that I get them.
185
I’m lucky to be in this business. I’m very grateful.
186
People really feel the need to share how the series has touched their lives, and that’s been very moving. We’re enormously grateful to the fans of the show. They’ve been extremely loyal to us season after season, and they make it all worthwhile.
187
I believe that if you don’t derive a deep sense of purpose from what you do, if you don’t come radiantly alive several times a day, if you don’t feel deeply grateful at the tremendous good fortune that has been bestowed on you, then you are wasting your life. And life is too short to waste.
188
While Pickstown may not be what it once was, it still is framed by the natural beauty of the ancient river, the sweep of the Great Plains, and the long, unbroken shoreline of the lake behind the dam. It gave me a 19th-century childhood in a modern mid-20th-century town, and for that I will always be grateful.
189
I’m grateful for my lines of wisdom. Of course, there are days when I think: ‘Oh my gawd, I look a bit tired.’ But I can pull it together if I have to.
190
Just remember: to be grateful and thank the people who are there and support you along the way is a great start to success.
191
I’m very grateful to our members who were able to unite their hearts and want to say thank you to ARMYs who always love us.
192
I’m grateful for everything. I’m grateful for my health, and I’m so grateful for the love in my life.
193
Embracing my origin has made me the confident and grateful person I am.
194
If you don’t embrace the bad, you can never truly embrace the good and be grateful and have gratitude for the tiniest things.
195
I have a lot of feminist idols. My favorite thing about growing up in Arkansas – well, not favorite but something I’ve always felt grateful for – was that I really had to dig for what I could. There was no Internet. There wasn’t tons of feminist literature floating around.
196
I’m very grateful that I’m the kind of actor where I’m not some character actor. I can’t disappear into a world.
197
I’m eternally grateful to fate and the citizens of Russia that they’ve trusted me to be the head of the Russian government.
198
I’m not worried. I’m just so grateful to be in the position that I’m in. I’m just going with the flow right now, and I think my album will come together quite nicely because I think everybody is on the same page.
199
You cannot be an actor like I am and not have been in some of the worst movies like I have. But I stand before you deeply honored, mighty grateful and just plain gobsmacked.
200
Looking back now, thinking about that moment in the lights, with my heart pounding, Oscar in my hand, all I can say is I am grateful and humbled – still to this day. Next to marrying my husband and the birth of my children, it is one of the best days ever.
201
I’ll tell you what I’m grateful for, and that’s the clarity of understanding that the most important things in life are health, family and friends, and the time to spend on them.
202
I’ve been incredibly lucky. I’ve worked in two iconic shows, ‘Carry On’ and ‘EastEnders.’ If it all ended tomorrow – and it could – I’d just be terribly grateful. I’ve been fortunate enough to do what I love and get paid for it.
203
I’ve actually performed at Gay Pride in Atlanta three times in my career. I’ve always had a large gay following, particularly in the lesbian community. I am grateful for that. To me, it means my music transcends categories. It also means that I’m a cute girl singing a rock song in an alto voice!
204
I’ve got nothing to complain about. I have to enjoy and be grateful. Lots of people would like to be in my shoes.
205
For me, the triad of ‘Harry Potter,’ the ‘Hunger Games’ and ‘Twilight’ feature strong women, and as a declared feminist, it’s a wonderful thing. These women have really opened up this particular world of storytelling, which I’m very grateful for.
206
I do practice active gratitude. In my thoughts, actions words I am deeply grateful for what life has given me.
207
My husband and I grew up with parents who supported our passion, and we’re grateful to them for that. It really helps you find your identity when you’re younger. It helps you become a really well-rounded person, the more you can show from different perspectives. The arts show us empathy, which is so important.
208
I’m so grateful for the marriages that I have had. I wouldn’t be who I am today if I hadn’t had those.
209
There’s the classic charitable contribution, which we receive thousands, and we’re extremely grateful and they often come with notes from people, which are very heartwarming, about how much difference our products have made in their life on the Internet.
210
There have been so many great tournaments that I’ve been privileged to see, and people paid me to go watch, that I’m awfully grateful for it.
211
There were many times during our career when he could’ve quit and done something else. But he knew that his power was with the Grateful Dead. He didn’t want to go solo. Jerry was a groupist. He loved to group.
212
Now that I’m on Broadway, it’s like NASA engineering with the costumes. I was very grateful for the slightly more high-tech ones in my show, ‘Venus in Fur’; our costume designer Anita Yavich is kind of a genius.
213
I’m quite grateful to the BBC. They helped me back onto the touring circuit.
214
I mean people have compared us to like the Grateful Dead and all these like psychedelic sixties bands.
215
However dark, however demanding the realities of existence are, artists provide the lift, the light, the ways to make it through. They help us find the joys and delights, the hopes we need for our days and hours. I am grateful for their gifts.
216
I believe that this is a part of our Indian culture, that whatever we want to do in our life, we need to be grateful and start that journey with the blessings of the Almighty.
217
I’m very grateful that President Obama has lifted the restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
218
Growing up, there wasn’t much emphasis on being nice or naughty. As a family, there wasn’t much discipline. It was more relaxed at home, which I’m grateful for.
219
I am grateful my own eternal companion served a mission in Hawaii before we were married in the Salt Lake Temple, and I am pleased that I have had three granddaughters serve full-time missions.
220
I was sort of a floater in high school; I feel like I tried my hand at all the different stereotypes or cliques. I’m grateful for the experience to walk in all those different shoes.
221
My mother persuaded me not to pluck my eyebrows when I was a teenager – right now I’m so grateful I never did! She also taught me to pour 2 kg. of salt in my bath whenever I feel swollen and tired – and to end it with a cold shower. It does wonders.
222
Marriage was all a woman’s idea and for man’s acceptance of the pretty yoke, it becomes us to be grateful.
223
I am always grateful for what I’ve got.
224
I am so grateful to God for giving me the gift of 48 years with my daughter. And I accept that He knew when it was time to take her.
225
I always say I’m just eternally grateful for this role because Raven Reyes defies all stereotypes. It’s revolutionary for a character on television, and it’s also extremely creatively liberating as an artist.
226
I lost the life that I knew, and I really had to rethink my future and think about my core values and the things that I love, and my passion, and that’s really what helped me move forward. Also, for me just being grateful for what I had in my life versus on focusing on what I was losing, that really helped as well.
227
But Canada remains a crucial partner in this global war on terrorism, and we are grateful for that. Canadian naval vessels, aircraft and military personnel continue anti-terrorist operations in the Persian Gulf.
228
I am deeply grateful to the citizens of Sarajevo and the Sarajevo Canton assembly for bestowing upon me this incredible honor of citizenship. I am so proud to now be a part of such an extraordinary part of the world and fellow citizen to the people I deeply love and admire.
229
I am profoundly grateful that all of my life I have had a simple faith that Jesus is the Christ. That witness has been confirmed to me hundreds of times. It is the crowning knowledge of my soul. It is the spiritual light of my being. It is the cornerstone of my life.
230
I will say that since our capture we have met with uniform kindness, and while in the penitentiary our relations with the officers have been cordially pleasant, and for their considerate and kind disposition we feel profoundly grateful.
231
I’m just gonna be real grateful to be on any freaking movie set for the rest of my life.
232
I eat excellent bread, clean meat, good crisp veggies, organic fruits and nice wine and cheese. It is one of the things I am truly grateful for. I’m not kidding. You can’t ask a single mother of three working two jobs for minimum wage to eat that way. I am lucky.
233
I come to work with a smile and I leave with a laugh, and I’m so grateful.
234
I was a complete tomboy. I loved wandering out in storms or walking on the beaches in the dark. It was a very free upbringing, and I’m grateful to my parents for that.
235
I never thought I’d be able to spread the message of such body positivity, and just being positive in general, but I’m insanely grateful for it.
236
It turns out that our ability to connect with other people is driven by our ability to connect deeply with ourselves. And that can be just a few minutes sitting on your porch feeling the breeze against your face. That can be a few moments spent in meditation or in prayer or remembering three things you’re grateful for.
237
As grateful as we are for all the work the community health centers do, it is also important that we recognize that they cannot solve the health care crisis facing our Nation by themselves.
238
I’m grateful for my brokenness. I’m grateful for my humility.
239
As a supporter of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and their Home Run Challenge program, I am extremely grateful for the valuable partnerships and relationships built with Major League Baseball and our affiliates.
240
I’ve been grateful for what comes along.
241
If I need a pick-me-up, I pull up a memo file on my phone and type in three things I’m grateful for. The things I’ve typed on other days are still there. It’s a long list. Always helps.
242
I feel that the industry can be sliced into two categories – grateful actors and non-grateful actors.
243
I owe my life to blood donors. I’m forever grateful to people who donate.
244
I had a rough spot about being a goody-goody Mormon, and not drinking or smoking. But I’m kind of grateful I’ve got this image now. There are no skeletons in my closet. What you see is what you get.
245
Grateful people may recover faster from trauma.
246
Being elected to Congress, though I am very grateful to our friends for having done it, has not pleased me as much as I expected.
247
I speak about family and adoption because it 100% changed my life and who I am. It definitely played a very large role into just learning how to be grateful for what you have and being fulfilled in a way that a lot of adopted kids don’t feel.
248
I left the White House in 2007. You know, I knew when I went there that it would be for a limited period of time. I was grateful that the average tenure of a white house senior aide is 18 to 20 months. I was there for nearly seven years.
249
My smile will always be broken, but I’ll always be grateful for the chance to get to do what I get to do.
250
When I chose Mississippi State, of course I dreamed about being a big-time college football player. But I’m so grateful that actually became a reality – and it became a reality in a small town.
251
Well, I’m grateful for all the experiences that I’ve had.
252
The Grateful Dead are our religion. This is a religion that doesn’t pay homage to the God that all the other religions pay homage to.
253
Looking back, I am grateful for so many friends who helped me in my youth to gain a testimony of the restored Church of Jesus Christ. First, I exercised simple faith in their testimonies, and then I received the divine witness of the Spirit to my mind and to my heart.
254
However vile the abuse they receive, media people must remember this is part of the price of getting a public voice. Stay grateful. Don’t kick down, kick up. Criticise power rather than proles.
255
I was adopted by two amazing people: a Salvadoran mother and a white father who were incredibly supportive of me and my work. I am eternally grateful for them.
256
I am very grateful for the dedicated work and intellectual contributions of generations of talented postdocs, students and research assistants without whom none of the work from my laboratory would have been possible.
257
We really should be grateful to the people who participate in research and allow certain details to be published about themselves. Because if they didn’t, we wouldn’t have nearly the understanding of the brain that we do.
258
Look, I’ve always been a confident bloke. I’m grateful to my mother for that.
259
I’ve never seen myself as a spokesperson. I’ve always seen myself as a worker and am very grateful for the trust that my own people have given me over the years.
260
With sincere modesty, if there is such a thing, I have never thought of legacy at all. I am always grateful if people like what I have done. A legacy is something no one can forsee.
261
The Nobel Prize is an honor unique in the world in having found its way into the hearts and minds of simple people everywhere. It casts a light of peace and reason upon us all; and for that I am especially grateful.
262
I am grateful that early in my life I was blessed with a simple faith that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, that he saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, in a vision. He translated the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God. That testimony has been confirmed to me over and over again.
263
I’m grateful my son was – as any mother would say, I had a very good son.
264
Everyone who’s recognized me has been very nice, which I’m very grateful for. It’s kind of thrust me into this world of being known, which is a good thing and a bad thing.
265
When I was growing up, my mother was always a friend to my siblings and me (in addition to being all the other things a mom is), and I was always grateful for that because I knew she was someone I could talk to and joke with, and argue with and that nothing would ever harm that friendship.
266
Israel is grateful that America believes in us.
267
When I heard Grateful Dead music, I knew that it was the most powerful force on the planet.
268
I think that anytime that you can open your eyes and see all that you have and all that you’ve been blessed with, it’s the greatest way to connect you with God, just being grateful rather than always wanting more, wanting to be different, wanting to be better.
269
Most actors feel only one way. We’re just grateful to have a job.
270
I loved the city of Chicago, and I love the Reinsdorfs. I’m forever grateful for them in taking a chance on me, allowing me to become the player that I am today. It’s still incredible to me that I got to hoop in a Bulls jersey.
271
I love opera so much. I would never go back to doing it, but I love to listen – I’m grateful for it.
272
I’m just grateful I didn’t have to spend my early 20s in front of paparazzi cameras.
273
I’m so grateful for where I am now, but I think I’m more grateful because it’s been so hard-won; I haven’t given up, and I’ve had plenty of reasons to give up.
274
I love my life. I’m really grateful. My biggest dream come true is my daughter. I’ve wanted her since I was a little girl.
275
I love what I do, and I just remember that every breath and every moment is a gift and it can be taken away at any time, so I want to appreciate it and be grateful for it while it’s here.
276
I think I went to 67 ‘Grateful Dead’ shows. I’m the only ‘Deadhead’ who doesn’t know the precise number, and it’s totally humiliating.
277
My body is a reflection of how grateful I am for my life and my health; there are a lot of people less fortunate than me.
278
I am just grateful I have a British passport and a country here.
279
I don’t want to be Carrie Bradshaw. I don’t want the wedding to be bigger than Big. I’m just grateful to know that the first time I fell in love wasn’t the last time.
280
My parents are wonderful people and they instilled in me an idealism for which I’m grateful.
281
I’m very grateful that I have one of those faces that seems to blend back into the crowd. A lot of people pay lip service to wanting a normal life, but it’s actually very important to me.
282
When I arrived at the Capitol in 2007 to take my oath as a new member of the U.S. House of Representatives, I had the privilege of filling the seat held for so long and so well by my friend Patsy Takemoto Mink, the first Asian-American woman elected to Congress. I was so grateful to her.
283
Over the years, I’ve become barraged by comments from people, such as, ‘Beam me up, Scotty!’ and I became defensive. I felt they were derisive and engendered an attitude. I am grateful for the success, but didn’t want to be mocked.
284
I feel very Jewish, and I feel very grateful to be Jewish. But I don’t believe in God or anything to do with the Jewish religion.
285
I’m grateful that so many viewers have related to characters I’ve played. I think many in the audience see themselves in my characters or feel like the characters are similar to their friends or sisters.
286
I’ll always be grateful for ‘Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.’ It brought me many, many, readers.
287
I don’t think I’ll ever stop being grateful to my readers for everything they’ve done for me.
288
The Toddstock thing is the closest thing, I have to say, a Grateful Dead sort of thing where it all lapses over from the formality of a concert into more of a lifestyle thing.
289
I believe in professionalism, but playing is not like a job. You have to be grateful to have the opportunity to play.
290
What I look at, success is about really being grateful. You wake up in the morning, and you’re thankful that you could breathe because it’s a beautiful planet we live on, and I know there is a lot of struggle and pain, but there is more joy.
291
I’m very grateful I went to school to study law, particularly tax law, which really is interesting to me and very useful to me now with my position. Music, however, will always be my number one passion; I like how it connects everyone.
292
Serving the people of Arkansas’ 2nd District is the honor of a lifetime, and I’m grateful for the opportunity I have been given by my fellow Arkansans.
293
I would love to continue to challenge myself by trying different things. Action, Drama, Comedy. I would be grateful to do any and all of it if someone is kind enough to hire me!
294
Be grateful for luck. Pay the thunder no mind – listen to the birds. And don’t hate nobody.
295
I am grateful that my horizons were not narrowed at the outset.
296
You realize that however much you don’t think about death – or think that’s for other people – you’re just an organism living from day to day. I’m just grateful I’m here.
297
Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.
298
I’m very grateful, but at the same time, I’m glad all this happened when I’m 36 instead of 26 because I – I’m just such a homebody, and I just want to write songs and make the best record that I can.
299
I’m not good at being lionized, and when I’m in ‘Grateful Dead’-type situations, that happens.
300
I think what I do is borderline art. Most people who do borderline art have to have other jobs, so I’m very grateful.
301
I love life. I wish I could live another 500 years, truly. There is so much to do. I don’t feel bitter or angry or disappointed. If anything, I am very grateful for where I come from. I have absolutely no regrets.
302
I think success happens when it’s supposed to and when you can appreciate it. I am grateful that it didn’t happen for me at 22 or 23. I would’ve been foolish enough to think that we’re all entitled to it, instead of it being the divine blessing that it is.
303
I also liked Daniel Craig. He’s not like any other Bond. So we’ll see. In 10 years I might be cursed for doing it, but I’m very grateful for what it has done for me.
304
I’m grateful to intelligent people. That doesn’t mean educated. That doesn’t mean intellectual. I mean really intelligent. What black old people used to call ‘mother wit’ means intelligence that you had in your mother’s womb. That’s what you rely on. You know what’s right to do.
305
For a while, I tried to masquerade as somewhat of a hippie because I was under the impression that was the kind of guy girls would like. I was pretty unsuccessful because I liked the idea of camping more than actually camping. I did go to a Grateful Dead concert, but I was pretty bored.
306
Be grateful. That’s one of the most important lessons in life, I think, is to just be grateful for every minute, every moment.
307
I’m so grateful for all the experiences I’ve had; the life lessons I’ve learned along the way are just completely invaluable.
308
I have the most beautiful daughter in the world and I’m grateful for her.
309
I’m very fortunate and grateful to wake up every morning in the rural countryside I live in, looking at farmland and these beautiful mountains.
310
I’ve been given an amazing opportunity and I could not be more grateful. But I also know that all this will eventually die off. It’s not real. It will go away and then you’ll go away and then, I don’t know, I’ll be left sitting in some English hotel room.
311
I’m tired but grateful: choosing to blend parenting and public service has made me a more confident mother and a better legislator.
312
Before I worked on film, I studied the theatre, and I expected that I would spend my whole career in theatre. Gradually, I started writing for the cinema. However, I feel grateful towards the theatre. I love working with spectators, and I love this experience with the theatre, and I like theatre culture.
313
I know for me like I have a reputation of being kind of tough, I have a reputation of also being the girl next door, kind of sweet but I have standards and my thing is, it’s me on that screen and I don’t have control over everything in this and I’m grateful and thankful.
314
Celebrity is a big part of the American social system. I’m certainly grateful for what it’s done for me, but I do think that celebrity is overdone in our society. I think it’s got a dangerous side to it.
315
I’m really grateful for ‘Game of Thrones’. It’s something wonderful to happen to an actress of my age, and Dubrovnik is astonishingly beautiful.
316
I have a fine level of recognition in the business and among the acting community now, so I consider myself one of the lucky ones. If I didn’t think that, there would be something wrong with me. I’m grateful and thankful for what I’ve got.
317
Micky Adams took me in initially as youth coach and I’ll always be grateful to Port Vale giving me my first chance to manage.
318
How grateful I am for the law of tithing. It is the Lord’s law of finance.
319
I am absolutely blessed and I’m very grateful for where I am today.
320
While I’m grateful for the freedom to express one’s self, I’ve learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I’m deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted.
321
We had, like, the greatest time you could ever imagine doing ‘Arrested Development.’ And as grateful as we are for the careers we have afterwards, it was – we still miss it.
322
When you are grateful – when you can see what you have – you unlock blessings to flow in your life.
323
It gets slightly daunting if you’re watching the telly and everybody’s gorgeous. It’s just so rubbish. And I’m grateful that it’s not so much anymore – it’s great to see.
324
I am hugely honored to represent my country in the Olympics and in World Cups, and I’m grateful for all the advantages being a professional soccer player brings my way – the opportunities to see the world, the camaraderie and friendships, and more.
325
I didn’t do a movie until I was almost 30. I’m grateful for that because it gave me a chance to be an adult in the world and do work in the regional theater that very few people cared about. I loved it and I wanted to do that stuff.
326
I’ll tell you what I’m grateful for, and that’s the clarity of understanding that the most important things in life are health, family and friends, and the time to spend on them.
327
Because I never set out to be an actress, I always feel so lucky and grateful. There are so many people who are really desperate to be stars, and it was completely the opposite for me – I fell into it.
328
I am and always will be eternally grateful for the incredible network of people around me who have helped me to recover from what was a life-threatening injury in January 2017.
329
I come to work with a smile and I leave with a laugh, and I’m so grateful.
330
One of the best things – and something I’m grateful for every time I walk onto a film set – is my six and a half years on Dawson’s Creek and the experience it afforded me in how to get comfortable with the camera.
331
Disney is a machine, and I’m grateful for it, but I feel like being part of that environment made me crave the reaction from other projects even more.
332
When a film does well, everyone is usually happy and grateful, but for me, the impression the film leaves upon my mind is created during the process of filming; my memories are not a reflection of critics’ reviews and box office figures.
333
My father is my idol, and I have grown up watching his films. He is my biggest influence and inspiration. I have learnt a lot from him, and I am who I am because of him. I’m extremely grateful to him for that.
334
I’ve known who I am as an artist for a long time; ‘Idol’ has shown me what I’m capable of. I know it’s all possible for me now. I can go in any direction I want. I’m forever grateful to them.
335
I hate myself in interviews. All of a sudden, you stop and you’re like, ‘Chris, how dare you?’ I don’t live in Darfur. I have both legs. But you can’t walk around all the time being like, ‘I’m so grateful I’m not in Darfur.’
336
I still have a steady stream of book cover work. I’m grateful for it. Viva le book!
337
I am grateful for any following and am always surprised by it!
338
I feel so rich in my emotions and in my life and so grateful when I’m home and so grateful when I’m at work.
339
A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer.
340
I’ll always be grateful for what ‘Doctor Who’ has given me. I go to quite a few fan conventions. It’s lovely to hang out with people you worked with so long ago. And, more than that, it’s made me aware of the impact that television can have.
341
Whenever you’re feeling grateful, you are not feeling frustrated and angry and all those negative states that we go into. And that’s a big benefit in and of itself.
342
Caring for our veterans is the duty of a grateful nation. Unfortunately, the Bush administration and congressional Republicans have not lived up to this duty.
343
I know a lot of people dread going to work every morning, but my work is playing pretend and doing stunts and screaming. It’s a lot of fun and I get to play dress up. Every day is exciting and different and new and cool. I couldn’t be more grateful.
344
My American gay audience have continued to dance and sing to the music I make in a way that straight Americans haven’t. I am grateful to them for that.

346
I’m grateful that, after an early life of being silenced, sometimes violently, I grew up to have a voice, circumstances that will always bind me to the rights of the voiceless.
347
It’s true that misunderstanding and lack of understanding are often themes in my fiction, but I am grateful for the moments when true understanding is achieved, especially between writer and reader. It’s miraculous.
348
But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.
349
When my parents separated, I was very grateful.
350
I’ve always felt so grateful that I dropped out of school, that I never had to do a thesis. I wouldn’t know how to organise and structure myself to film so that B follows A and C follows B.
351
When I pull into a city and I rent a car and it’s Nashville, or it’s London, or I’m driving in the taxi to the hotel, and on comes one of my songs, it’s like, ‘Oh my God, they’re still playing these songs on the radio.’ And you still feel tearful and very grateful that somebody still likes these songs that you made up.
352
Great indebtedness does not make men grateful, but vengeful; and if a little charity is not forgotten, it turns into a gnawing worm.
353
I’m grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes.
354
Although I am deeply grateful to a great many people, I forgo the temptation of naming them for fear that I might slight any by omission.

357

358
The loveliest roles, for me, have a growth arc – a beginning, a middle, and an end – and I’m always grateful when I can find one of those emotional journeys.
359
I always tell people I’m grateful for my cancer diagnosis because it was the greatest gift because it completely changed my life.

360
I am deeply grateful for the concern of all those who constantly prayed for my happiness.
361
When something disappointing happened, my mother would remind me not to let that become my focus. There’s still so much to be grateful for.
362

363
I’m very grateful to God for what he gives me. Victories, remarkable victories, but you have to go through the defeats. That is why I praise God for everything.
364
I wanted to open the dialogue about race in ballet and bring more people in. It’s just beautiful to see the interest that has exploded for such an incredible art form that I will forever be grateful to!
365
We are very grateful for what the Ontario provincial government is doing, and for cooperation from provincial and local police forces all across Canada.
366
I had just left ‘Saturday Night Live’ when I came to ‘The Daily Show,’ and it just felt like Jon was on my side. I’ll always be grateful to him for that. I just got the impression he wanted me to succeed, and then I wanted to succeed for him. I think that’s good leadership.
367
When I think about any of the missteps in my life that I’ve made, all of which I’m grateful for, it’s because I just so wanted to be truly seen and heard for who I am and was afraid I wasn’t or wouldn’t be.
368
I’m grateful for every stupid mistake and dumb joke I tried to make.
369
In one of my songs, I say fame is nothing more than loving someone. So I’m grateful every day that there’s so many fans of people out there that love my music and feel they’re connected to me through that.
370
I don’t need a holiday or a feast to feel grateful for my children, the sun, the moon, the roof over my head, music, and laughter, but I like to take this time to take the path of thanks less traveled.
371
I love what I do, and I just remember that every breath and every moment is a gift and it can be taken away at any time, so I want to appreciate it and be grateful for it while it’s here.
372
For all its deranging effects, I am always grateful to Twitter for the interesting ideas it surfaces.
373
Having immigrated here when I was 3, I was grateful for the opportunities America provided and felt a duty to defend the ideals that make us the strongest nation in the world. I can’t imagine turning away anyone who shares that vision and has the drive and ability to serve.
374
About him as a father, I can only say that he has been nothing less than a hero in real life to me and an inspiration like no other. I’m just in awe of his life and I am so grateful to be a part of his life.
375
Directing ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ has been an intense and incredible journey for which I am hugely grateful. I have Universal to thank for that.
376
Right now the thing that I have learned the most is to be grateful that I have finally gotten to a point where I am being paid to make films, after eight years.
377
When you run for president of the United States, everybody does the same thing in the campaign-they talk about veterans, how much they admire them, how grateful they are.
378
When I started acting, I thought if I got one or two jobs a year I’d be lucky. So yeah, my career has gone so much farther than I ever suspected it would, and as such I feel lucky for everything I get. I feel thankful and grateful.
379
I’m eternally grateful for the fact that I’m doing what I like best. I thank my stars for it. I wonder why I wasted all that time being fat. I should have lost weight and started acting earlier. But as they say, things happen when they are meant to.
380
As a single mum I have to work, so I’m grateful to have the help of a wonderful and trusted nanny like I had when I was young.
381
I am very fortunate, very grateful for everything that has happened to me, everything I’ve done, all the opportunities, so I’m very happy.
382
Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston, I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song, and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, ‘Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.’
383
The Grateful Dead were very kind. It was Santa Claus. It did good things. It allowed other people to benefit. The benefits that we played were enormous, and we played free. So you’ve got a band that loves to play free, and that was a wonderful thing.
384
I’ve been dealing with the press for 45 years. You need a very long spoon to sup with them. While you are always grateful, they are like badly trained dogs. They smile and wag and bite your arm off.
385
I’m thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments.
386
I’m looking forward to the future, and feeling grateful for the past.

391
There is something that happens when you are grateful: You continue to keep receiving blessings. So I will always be grateful.
392
I’ve been very fortunate and I am grateful.
393
I’m grateful for anything that brings me back to Colorado.
394
I feel blessed and lucky with my family, not because of the privilege, of course, I’m grateful for that as well that we never wanted anything.
395
I’m so lucky, I’m just really grateful for what I’ve got around me – children and my wife and everything else.
396
When somebody’s face-to-face with you saying, ‘I may not have been here had I not read your book,’ how do you respond to that? The first several times I traveled, it was almost too much. I was totally grateful, but emotionally, it was really hard.
397
When you’re in a soap, it’s fantastic, and I’m really grateful for the fans who watch you and support you. For me, it was the best experience because I was able to act every day and work with so many different directors and get some great storylines and learn on-screen.
398
I have to be grateful to our society here in China, grateful to the economic reforms for letting me get rich, and grateful for the efforts of my staff. If there had been no reforms, I would have been a farmer.
399
I’m so grateful for everything that’s happened. I love my work. People have such hurdles – I just wanted to perform, and I wanted my parents to be proud, and they were proud.
400
I’m lucky I have good metabolism and I’m very grateful for that.
401
I am so grateful that the public has given me this gift. They look at me as a person – not as a race or a color. The word for it is freedom – to be accepted as me.
402
I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.
403
My appearance gave me access to a particular kind of world and I’m really grateful for it.
404
We weren’t by any means like the Grateful Dead or something, who could just roll on and on and on.
405
I am grateful to be here, and I will always be grateful for the opportunity Manchester City gave me.
406
There’s no real downside to any sort of work that I do. I’m all so grateful for it, but I wouldn’t say that animated work is just a walk in the park. It is easy, it’s really fun, but I don’t know why I really stress myself out every time I’m about to go in.
407
It is always encouraging and kind when people say nice things about my work but I know that it is not me that did it then and it is not me that is doing it now. It is God living in me and for that I will always be grateful.
408
I work very hard, and I play very hard. I’m grateful for life. And I live it – I believe life loves the liver of it. I live it.
409
Gratitude is a mark of a noble soul and a refined character. We like to be around those who are grateful.
410
I am grateful to journalism for waking me up to the realities of the world.
411
Most men remember obligations, but are not often likely to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent.
412
The Getty family has been fully supportive throughout this situation, and for that, I am very grateful.
413
One thing I’ve learned about death threats is that they’re great, actually. You should actually be grateful for death threats because those who are taking the time to threaten you that way are getting it out of their system. That’s really what they rant to do, yell at you, and they want to threaten you.
414
I’m just grateful that my parents still love each other.
415
I’m just grateful to be on this planet. I have no enemies that I know of. I’m just the guy who makes happy.
416
My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened… well, I’m just thankful to be alive. I’m just grateful to be here at all.
417
In a way, I’m kind of a bystander looking at this phenomenon that is ABBA, which is still around, and that I thought would be finished in 1981 and forgotten. I’m amazed how this could happen, and I don’t know why it happened. I’m just grateful and humble. I just sit back and enjoy.
418
I believe I’m a better writer now than I was when I started. I’m grateful that I had good guidance because you don’t make it in this business without good editors and a lot of support from your publishers.
419
I feel very lucky to make a living from my imagination; I’m very grateful for that. I like that what I do is create. I’m feeling very lucky to have had the career I had. It’s gone much longer and bigger than I ever thought it would be.
420
Just so many special moments that make you feel incredibly fortunate and grateful to be able to have healthy, beautiful kids. And I’m sure the emotions will continue to change over time, and as I get older, I’ll probably want to yell and scream at them.
421
Once a week, I don’t eat for 24 or 30 hours. Your brain becomes very lucid about ideas. It also made me so grateful for food and for life, basically, and that’s why a lot more joy is coming through our music, I think.
422
I’m grateful for the fans who’ve been there from the beginning and am excited about how we’ve grown and how we’ve evolved now.
423
I am really blessed and very grateful for it.
424
I decided a long time ago to be unfiltered and wholly myself in these areas of social media. I’ve been very happy with the results of this decision. I feel that I get lots of interaction and loyal support. So I’m grateful for my Twitter and Facebook followers every day.
425
I feel grateful that the person I end up working with a lot is Paul Rudd. He’s a prince among men, and so talented, and generous, and effortless.
426
When you’re adopted, no matter what, you’ve got issues with unconditional love. And you find out you’re the product of the worst situation for a young girl to be in and start her life, and I’m so grateful that my birth mom made the decision she made. She came from a rough situation.
427
The Congress, the executive branch, and our fellow citizens have done an enormous amount to support our troopers and their loved ones. And all of us are grateful for that.
428
I’m thrilled, I’m grateful, I’m blessed. I played for the world’s greatest professional sports team in history. Once a Dallas Cowboy, always a Dallas Cowboy.
429
I’m just always grateful when I meet fans.
430
I am very lucky and grateful to have this living link to a past era, the violin presumably having much more history to it than the later portion that I know.
431
It was a hard job, but it was a lot of fun and I’ll always be grateful to Ponch. He was a part of me.
432
I was so grateful to win an Emmy, but just being nominated, it’s not overrated!
433
The United States owes a great debt to its inventors. Far from being grateful to them, it places every obstruction in their way and makes it enormously difficult to secure a patent.
434
I think you have to be grateful to those who have helped you.
435
I think I was so grateful, in the years after Sleater-Kinney broke up or went on hiatus or whatever you want to call it, to find ‘Portlandia’ and co-create ‘Portlandia’ with Fred Armisen, which allows for levity, allows for the same kind of kinetic energy, but channeled through absurdity and surrealism.
436
I’m such an emotional performer, and my head is always like a rollercoaster, so if I’m in a good place and feeling grateful, that’s when I notice that my shows come across as a lot more positive.
437
Students teach all sorts of things but most importantly they make explicit the courage that it takes to be a learner, the courage it takes to open yourself to the transformative power of real learning and that courage I am exposed to almost every day at MIT and that I’m deeply grateful for.
438
This is a gift that God has given me. I’m not smart enough to write for everybody, but it’s the love in these books that comes from Him and goes out to my reading audience. I’m forever grateful for that. It’s a privilege.
439
I’m not grateful for depression, but it honestly made me work harder and gave me the drive that I have to succeed and to make it work.
440
Winning the Pulitzer is wonderful and it’s an honor and I feel so humbled and so grateful, but I think that I’ll think of it very much as the final sort of final moment for this book and put it behind me along with the rest of the book, as I write more books.
441
I have the luxury of being alive and healthy, and I’m very grateful for that.
442
For my experience, my family. I will always be grateful for the people who brought me here.
443
Acting helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I’m very, very grateful; it’s a fun job. It’s a luxury.
444
I am so grateful to Marc Jacobs, Riccardo Tisci, Karl Lagerfeld, and Katie Grand, who took a chance on me that first season and gave me an opportunity.
445
Never speak to an invalid from behind, nor from the door, nor from any distance from him, nor when he is doing anything. The official politeness of servants in these things is so grateful to invalids, that many prefer, without knowing why, having none but servants about them.
446
I just feel really grateful that I can pursue my dreams and also reach people in ways that I never expected.
447
I just feel like they’re a network I have a good vibe with, and I’m very grateful. My first job with a network was ‘General Hospital,’ and that was ABC. I feel like I have so much history with them, that they treat their shows well, and they have good, discerning taste.
448
To have the kind of success I have had is really amazing, and I am incredibly grateful.
449
I know about Woodstock probably as much as your average person who is over 30, where I’d know Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead.
450
When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?
451
Everybody who has ever played for Bayern knows how good this club is for its players. We are all grateful to be playing for Bayern.
452
My Marine experience helped shape who I am now personally and professionally, and I am grateful for that on an almost daily basis.
453
Dear Lord, I’m so grateful I’m still loved.
454
Ever since I was younger I wanted to be on stage, singing my songs in a glittering costume. And that happened and is still happening. I have to remember that this is what I wished for and be grateful because there are 500 other girls right behind me that are ready to snatch it up.
455
I didn’t have any fixed goals when I joined the film industry. I don’t particularly feel ‘successful,’ but I am grateful that my career is going well.
456
Heartbreak is hard, but you find more and more things to be grateful for every day.
457
If you’re in any field, you should own a farm because one day you will be grateful that you are able to grow your own agricultural produce.

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.
459
I don’t want to look back and be like, ‘You had it all, and you weren’t even present for it. You weren’t able to enjoy it.’ I want to be here, be now and be grateful.
460
I was grateful to have two weeks to shoot this one scene in Harry Potter. It’s a big, big scene, but they have to deliver. And they have high expectations.
461
Because of all the various people who’ve come in and out and brought along ideas, I’ve been on a learning curve throughout all these years. Of course, everyone that’s been involved has influenced me as well. And I’m grateful for that.
462
Cue actor platitude, but I’ve been very fortunate and worked pretty consistently and have felt rather annoyingly grateful that I got to do what I got to do.
463
I’m grateful to the LGBTQ community for giving me the courage to write music about who I am and not just about my sexual orientation.
464
I’m terrified of the supernatural things, which is why I’m very grateful that I don’t see things like that. Because if I did see things of the paranormal persuasion, I don’t think I’d be able to continue making scary movies.
465
I sometimes try to think of my life as an Iranian, and it is hard to imagine. I am grateful for the life I have had in America and all the amazing opportunities and experiences it has given me. But there is a spirit in Iranians I can see that is unbounded by geography.
466
Our daughter was not damaged or hurt in any way. She was simply relinquished to foster care by two people who were not ready to be parents. I admire them for giving her the chance for a better life. And I am grateful they gave my husband and me the opportunity to be parents.
467
I leave CNN with the utmost respect, love and admiration for the company and everyone who works here. This has been my family and shared endeavor for the past 27 years, and I am forever grateful and proud of all that we have accomplished.
468
At a family’s most difficult time, I want to make sure at a minimum that they have the very basic of comforts: the ability to grieve their loss privately and the knowledge that their country is grateful for their loved one’s sacrifice and service.
469
There’s a lot of division in politics, and that is why I am grateful to be a part of a show like ‘Veep.’ It makes light of the daunting aspects of the political world.
470
Simply being a guest on David Letterman’s show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave’s lead. I’m thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth.
471
My husband gave up all his work to stay at home with the kids, and we split all the duties at home. I do all the boring stuff – like pay the bills, and he does all the exercising for both of us, which I’m very grateful for… I thank him for it regularly.
472
On behalf of my native Japan, I am grateful to the culinary community and hospitality industry for working together to raise much-needed funds to aid the tsunami and earthquake victims.
473
I had my mom drive me to practice everywhere. I’m really grateful I had her.
474
I actually am grateful for Freddy Krueger, because the big surprise to me – with that sort of double punch of science fiction TV series and then the ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ phenomenon – was that I got an international celebrity out of it.
475
Surrounded by all the members of my dear family, enjoying the affection of numerous friends, who have never abandoned me, and possessing a sufficient share of all that contributes to make life agreeable, I lift my grateful eyes towards the Supreme Being and feel that I am happy.
476
If I felt, in the event of a royal wedding, inspired to write about people coming together in marriage or civil partnership, I would just be grateful to have an idea for the poem. And if I didn’t, I’d ignore it.
477
My mother, she had a very good attitude toward money. I’m very grateful for the fact that we had to learn to save. I used to get like 50 pence a week, and I’d save it for like five months. And then I’d spend it on Christmas presents. I’d save up like eight pounds. It’s nothing, but we did that.
478
I always hated the Grateful Dead. Never even bought a Led Zeppelin album.
479
Every morning when I wake up, I am grateful and happy that I come to the film set. It is home.
480
I’m grateful to songwriting and recovery to bringing me to a place of peace.
481
While Pickstown may not be what it once was, it still is framed by the natural beauty of the ancient river, the sweep of the Great Plains, and the long, unbroken shoreline of the lake behind the dam. It gave me a 19th-century childhood in a modern mid-20th-century town, and for that I will always be grateful.
482
I’m just very grateful that the media has been so kind to me, because there’s nothing unusual about me. I’m just a mum and a granny who is teaching cookery on TV. Basically, I’m very ordinary.
483
Winning ‘The Apprentice’ changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. It has been an amazing experience working for Donald Trump and I am very grateful for the whole opportunity.
484
If I’m bringing joy to people and entertaining people as an actor, then I should be grateful for that and act accordingly, you know?
485
If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world, a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now, I made movies – and I have a nice house, a nice car. I’m fortunate, happy and grateful. Life is good.
486
BJP is a national party which runs the central government, and if I can take a decision on the future of all these parties, I must be a capable person. I am grateful that everybody is accepting my capability.
487
I demand my kids be respectful, responsible and grateful. And they have to love the Lord with all their hearts.
488
I’m grateful for doing those drugs, because they kept me from getting laid and I would have gotten AIDS.
489
It’s not that I didn’t suffer or anything, I feel like it would be a sin if I complained that’s why I’m just very grateful and I never questioned God on what happened in 2018.
490
We do not really feel grateful toward those who make our dreams come true; they ruin our dreams.
491
I, for one, am profoundly grateful to feel the hand of God at work in my life. But at the beginning and end of the day, when my default setting is to show kindness and love to others, I never regret it. And to me, that is what faith is all about.
492
Those of us focused on issues related to social justice and equality are grateful for the significant steps President Obama has made to advance women’s equality and status all over the world.
493
I’m very grateful to have had many brilliant students and post-docs who have worked with me. Potential is often hard to spot, but a key factor is whether they express a genuine interest in the problem and how they have thought about it.
494
‘Newhart’ ran the longest, and it was great to have a regular role, but I run into a lot of film fans, and they ask me about ‘Blade Runner.’ I was grateful to be a part of that.
495
The funny thing is I’m not even Latin. I was constantly getting Latin roles, and I was like, I even was nominated for an award, and I was like, ‘Let them know at the NAACP, the first white woman. Let them know I’m totally grateful, but I’m not Latin. I can’t do that. I play Latin.’
496
I tried once in my life to write a novel. I had written something like 80 pages of it when my laptop got stolen. When I told people this, they acted as if something tragic had happened, but I kind of felt relieved, grateful to the thief who saved me from another year of something that felt more like homework than fun.
497
‘Entertainment Tonight’ would send me out to do interviews with musicians like Sting and Coldplay, and I was able to watch how they plan their shows. The late Jerry Garcia of Grateful Dead always had a game plan, but he also was flexible if he had to change something at the last minute.
498
I try to be upbeat. I read this book which tells you to write down everything that you’re grateful for each day. Now I’m constantly noticing all the little things that make me joyful.
499
Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
500
I’m grateful to look the way I do. However, if I could change anything, I would like to be a bit bigger all over. Not much – just a bit.
501
I’m just so happy, and I’m grateful for my fans. I just hope I keep doing work that they love.
502
I have an abundant amount of love in my life, and I’m grateful for that.
503
I can’t say I’m not grateful to have journalists writing about me as a genius. But I know it’s not true. I’m not confused. I understand that success comes through a lot of failure and a lot of very embarrassing failure. People want to create the next Facebook, but they are too afraid to create the next Facemash.
504
I know I can’t plan in this business, but I’m going to keep going as long as I keep getting close… So far, I feel lucky and infinitely grateful for the successes that I’ve had. I’m just going to keep working hard, and whatever happens, happens.
505
I am grateful for – though I can’t keep up with – the flood of articles, theses, and textbooks that mean to share insight concerning the nature of poetry.
506
I feel really grateful to be a part of a cast that is dedicated week in and week out to doing good work, and you don’t always come across that, but everybody on the call sheet is committed to doing good work, and a big part of that is having these firefighters on set and using our resources.
507
New Yorkers were grateful when Donald J. Trump finished ahead of schedule and under budget in renovating the Wollman Memorial Rink, where the city had spent six years and $12 million trying to produce ice.
508
Gratefulness is a double-edged sword. Because I think we’ve poured it into a feeling. And the batter of gratitude gets kind of stuck to the edges of the Williams Sonoma melamine mixing bowl. But gratefulness, the act of being grateful is actually… a verb. It’s an activity.
509
Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can – there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.
510
