Thank you quotes can be wonderful tools when it comes to showing someone how much you appreciate the things they have done. During National Teacher Appreciation Week held the first full week of May each year (May 1-May 7, 2011) we are reminded just how much we owe to the teachers who enriched our minds.
These 14 thank you quotes say it beautifully:
2. "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

5. "God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you?" ~ William Arthur Ward
6. "I thank everyone that has caused me to suffer, without you I would have no reason to express myself." ~ Author Unknown
7. "Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it." ~ Ralph Marston
8. "The depth and the willingness with which we serve is a direct reflection of our gratitude." ~ Gordon T. Watts

11. "We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures." ~ Thornton Wilder
12. "To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude." ~ Albert Schweitzer
13. "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal." ~ Albert Pike
14. "I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Remember to thank the teachers in your life this week, and while you're at it, thank everyone who makes your world a little brighter. If you don't know the words to get your gratitude across, these thank you quotes should do beautifully.
