Such lovely warmth of thought and delicacy of colour are beyond all praise, and equally beyond all thanks!

Like Christ said, love thee one another. I learned to do that, and I learned to respect and be appreciative and thankful for what I had.

I'm thankful for weird people out there 'cause they're some of the most creative people.

Every one of our greatest national treasures, our liberty, enterprise, vitality, wealth, military power, global authority, flow from a surprising source: our ability to give thanks.

I am going to spend my time today just thanking the people that played a role in my career, because I truly do believe that I was blessed by a lot of people that paths crossed mine as I went down the road in my career.

I don't need a holiday or a feast to feel grateful for my children, the sun, the moon, the roof over my head, music, and laughter, but I like to take this time to take the path of thanks less traveled.

The first thing I do when I start my day is, I get down on my hands and knees and give thanks to God. Whenever I go outside of my house, the first thing I do is stop at the church.

Should it happen tomorrow, I would fall to my knees to give thanks to God for such a career.

I'm really looking forward to the Hall of Fame ceremonies. It's going to be unbelievable - just crazy. I'm looking forward to thanking all the fans for inspiring me to go out there and play my best football each and every game.

Let a nation's fervent thanks make some amends for the toils and sufferings of those who survive.
