Powell Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence. - Erma Bombec Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. - Theodore Roosevelt Thanksgiving comes to us out of the prehistoric dimness, universal to all ages and all faiths. At whatever straws we must grasp, there is always a time for gratitude and new beginnings. - J. Robert Moskin Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. - W T Purkiser Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor.

I asked my mom if she would pass the mashed potatoes to a gay man. She passed them to my father. A terrible scene ensued. - Bob Smith Heap high the board with plenteous cheer and gather to the feast, And toast the sturdy Pilgrim band whose courage never ceased. - Alice W. Brotherton God is pleased with no music below so much as with the thanksgiving songs of relieved widows and supported orphans; of rejoicing, comforted, and thankful persons. - Jeremy Taylor Thanksgiving is so called because we are all so thankful that it only comes once a year. - P.J. O'Rourke Best of all is it to preserve everything in a pure, still heart, and let there be for every pulse a thanksgiving, and for every breath a song. - Konrad von Gesner God gave us our relatives; thank God we can choose our friends. - Ethel Watts Mumford Turkey: A large bird whose flesh, when eaten on certain religious anniversaries has the peculiar property of attesting piety and gratitude. - Ambrose Bierce Thanksgiving is America's national chow-down feast, the one occasion each year when gluttony becomes a patriotic duty. - Michael Dresser Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
