“If science exterminates a disease which has been working for God, it is God that gets the credit and all the pulpits break into grateful advertising-raptures and call attention to how good he is. Yes, he has done it. Perhaps he waited a thousand years before doing it. They forget to say that he is the slowest mover in the universe, that his Eye That Never Sleeps, might as well, since it takes a century to see what any other eye can see in a week.” IfsYearsWellsHas BeensDoneMightEyeUniverseSleepForgetAttentionBreakWeekCenturyThousandDiseaseGratefulCreditAdvertisingHis EyesThousand YearsRapturePulpitNever SleepWorking For God Author:Mark Twain

“Because I work at other things, whenever I get a chance to write I feel grateful for it. But I learned that sometimes, I couldn't do anything else and I shouldn't plan to do anything that night or the next day.

I had terrible migraines.” FeelsWritingSometimesNightNextDifficultChancePlansWeekTerribleGardenSickGratefulGet UpShedNext DayMigraine Author:Damian Barr
“There's a reason I'm a stand-up comedian. I think there may be some laziness inherent in that job. It's the four-hour work week, on some level. I mean, I work at it, but it's not that kind of... it's just not the hours at all. So I was extremely grateful for the job. It was super, super fun, and I'm surprised that I made it.” ThinkingKindMeanReasonFunHoursWeekGratefulComedianLaziness Author:Maria Bamford
“For the longest time, I was just playing music and not really expecting any success - just kind of doing it because I liked doing it. While doing that, I went on a lot of shitty tours, playing to nobody, so I think it makes me appreciate it. Our band the New Pornographers have been popular for a few years now, but it still shocks me. I remember thinking we were hugely popular when we sold 15,000 records, and now this one sold 30,000 in two weeks. I'm grateful for the whole thing.” ThinkingKindRememberWeekAppreciateGratefulExpecting Author:A.C. Newman

It's nothing, but we did that.” FactsUsedMotherAttitudeFiveWeekMonthsGratefulVery GoodEightChristmasPoundsGood AttitudeChristmas Present Author:Gemma Arterton
