A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A complaining soul complains even in paradise.

Baha'u'llah

Instead of complaining at his lot, a contented man is thankful that his condition and circumstances are no worse than they are. Instead of greedily desiring something more than the supply of his present need, he rejoices that God still cares for him. Such an one is "content" with such as he has (Heb. 13:5).

Arthur W. Pink

Most people do not realize that as they continue to find things to complain about, they disallow their own physical well-being. Many do not realize that before they were complaining about an aching body or a chronic disease, they were complaining about many other things first. It does not matter if the object of your complaint is about someone you are angry with, behavior in others that you believe is wrong, or something wrong with your own physical body. Complaining is complaining, and it disallows improvement.

Esther Hicks

Complaining about boring football is a little like complaining about the sad ending of King Lear: it misses the point somehow.

Nick Hornby

When you’re not patient, you start complaining. And the fact that you’re complaining is a sign that you’re not grateful.

Nouman Ali Khan

Instead of complaining that the rose bush is full of thorns, be grateful the thorn bush has roses. Perspective.

Lecrae

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the many things we have to be thankful for, not so we feel guilty about what we have that others don't, but to be genuinely grateful for our blessings.

Michael Josephson

Thanksgiving being thankful or grateful results in more to be thankful for.

John Templeton

Complaining is good for you as long as you're not complaining to the person you're complaining about.

Lynn Johnston

Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never ending thoughts that come back to you of more things to be grateful for. You have to make a start, and then the law of attraction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you more just like them.

Rhonda Byrne

Acceptance means no complaining, and happiness means no complaining about the things over which you can do nothing.

Wayne Dyer

I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.

Kurt Cobain

Remember, if you are criticising, you are not being grateful. If you are blaming, you are not being grateful. If you are complaining, you are not being grateful.

Rhonda Byrne

We have all been guilty of complaining, but God does not look at it as lightly as we may think. Complaining was the reason the Jews ended up wandering in the desert for forty years. If we were more grateful for what God has done for us, abasing ourselves would not be a problem.

Monica Johnson

Complaining about your current position in life is worthless. Have a spine and do something about it instead.

Robert Kiyosaki

Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one tenth the enrgy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out.
