Gratitude


In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give,
and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.
It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements
in comparison with what we owe others.

— Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), Ethics (1949)
