According to many people, Thanksgiving inspirational quotes bring messages of gratitude and thanks for many things people have achieved in this life. These famous sayings are almost poetic as the people who are quoted often expressed in words what many people felt in their minds.

So for you on this day, here are a few quotes to enjoy.

“I love Thanksgiving turkey. It’s the only time in Los Angeles that you see natural breasts.” -Arnold Schwarzenegger

“Remember God’s bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!” – Henry Ward Beecher

“The pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts… nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.” -H. W. Westermayer

“In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.” – Albert Schweitzer

“So once in every year we throng
Upon a day apart,
To praise the Lord with feast and song
In thankfulness of heart.”
- Arthur Guiterman, The First Thanksgiving

“I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.” –Jon Stewart

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.” – Erma Bombeck

Happy Thanksgiving to all you Americans!

May you have a good day and think of your neighbors and whatever. I heard that you are all keen on that this day you all reach out in friendliness and nobody should sit alone... that is cool !

I also read that it was due to the first immigrants on Mayflower... half of them died on voyage over, last half very bad shape, but the native americans greeted them and showed them how to farm the land and what was ok to eat and what not. In 1863 or something.. Abraham Lincoln made it a national day.

Solidarity is always a nice thing, something that lacks a lot in modern times.

We are sailing the same boat, let's float Smile
