Quote of the Day: Henri Frederic Amiel

by Jul 27, 2017

“Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.”

-Henri Frederic Amiel

To be truly gracious means to repay generous acts in kind. Being thankful is only one step on the path to showing gratitude; actions always speak louder than words. The next time you find yourself showering someone in verbal “thank you’s,” pause and ask yourself how you can demonstrate your gratitude instead.
