Nothing taken for granted; everything received with gratitude; everything passed on with grace.
You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.
I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
