Here is the world, and you live in it, and are grateful. You try to be grateful.

About This Quote

William Shakespeare said, “Here is the world, and you live in it, and are grateful. You try to be grateful.” He was pointing out that just because we are alive, that doesn’t mean that we should not appreciate the things that we have. We should take the time to think about all of the wonderful things in our lives.
