The pressure of a tender hand nerves a man for an operation, and cheers him for the dreadful interview with the surgeon. - William Makepeace Thackeray Did you ever think of the reason why the Psalms of David have come, like winged angels, down across all the realms and ages--why they make the key-note of grateful piety in every Christian's soul, wherever he lives? Why? Because they are so full of gratitude. "Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men!" - A.A. Willets I've heard of hearts unkind, kind deeds With coldness still returning; Alas! the gratitude of men Hath often left me mourning. - William Wordsworth, Simon Lee Displaying page 4 of 4 for this topic: << Prev 1 2 3 [4]
