Just don’t let the hype of what people are saying and how much they love you, y’know, just take the compliment and be thankful that people are complimenting you, but don’t let it consume you; don’t let your circumstances around you and the way people view you make you act a certain way. – Mary J. Blige
542. I’m certainly thankful for what the Cubs did for me. I respect their organization. It’s the same way with the Atlanta Braves, an awfully fine organization. I respect everybody who’s down there, and that’s still where I live today. But the Cardinals represent the best years of my career. – Bruce Sutter
543. I get along very well with the cast of ’30 Rock.’ I guess I bring a certain quirkiness to the show as well. I’m just thankful they keep asking me. I didn’t think I was going to be asked back so every time they say, ‘We want you back,’ I’m screaming. I’m jumping up and down and screaming. – Sherri Shepherd
544. We can be thankful President Barack Obama is taking aim at one of the prime causes of climate change and extreme weather: air pollution. The EPA’s carbon pollution standards are the most significant step forward our country has ever taken to protect our health by addressing climate change. – Donna Brazile
545. I believe that if you don’t derive a deep sense of purpose from what you do, if you don’t come radiantly alive several times a day, if you don’t feel deeply grateful at the tremendous good fortune that has been bestowed on you, then you are wasting your life. And life is too short to waste. – Srikumar Rao
546. I’ve been giving back since I was a teen, handing out turkeys at Thanksgiving and handing out toys at toys drives for Christmas. It’s very important to give back as a youth. It’s as simple as helping an old lady across the street or giving up your seat on the bus for someone who is pregnant. – Queen Latifah
547. If you reflect often on how His Atonement has changed you, and if you give thanks often, you will find that your witness of Him gains power to touch the hearts of others. When those you invite out of your own testimony feel that witness, they will come to accept Him as their Lord and Savior. – Henry B. Eyring
548. I was given such a great gift. It’s a miracle that never stops amazing me and reminding me to give thanks, every day. Having a wife and daughter gives me a lot more purpose. I was much more selfish before, but now I think about what kind of role model I’ll be. I just want to be a better man. – Jake Owen
549. My parents are the hardest-working people I ever knew: they always worked every day, all day; they had to come up with the solutions to make things work. And I think that work ethic, maybe stubbornness, single-mindedness, definitely played a role for me. I’m definitely thankful for my roots. – Peggy Whitson
550. Teaching does allow me to keep one foot in the youthful waters I tend to occupy in my novels, so I’m thankful for that. My students also remind me on a daily basis that the stories I collected during my district attorney days are actually interesting to people who haven’t had that experience. – Alafair Burke
551. That’s what I love about my faith and Christianity. It’s the polar opposite of darn near everything I experienced in the wrestling business. I still love the business, and I’m thankful for everything that it’s provided, but the idea that it deals in the truth is the furthest thing from reality. – Shawn Michaels
552. I’ve been blessed with athleticism, and don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for it. But I’m really grateful that I learned how to, without sounding arrogant, just suck it up and realize that even though I’m not at my best in a given situation, it doesn’t matter. You still have to get the job done. – Johny Hendricks
553. I remember, the first time I came to the United States in 1996, I didn’t speak a word of English at the beginning. I am very thankful for this country and the opportunity music has given me… My three kids were born here in Miami; they speak Spanish at home, but English with all their friends. – Juanes
554. I’m thankful to God for having a family that’s been there for me. He’s been there from the time I was a child to even now with my family helping with my little boy. It’s worth more than words could ever describe. That’s one of the ways I’ve been able to stay grounded is thanks to family and God. – Ashton Shepherd
555. When I can talk about my teammates who help make me a better player, or even the coach who gave me the self-confidence to continue being who I am, these are fundamental people who have had an influence throughout my life and my professional career, and I’m very thankful to them, and they know it. – Gerard Pique
556. In Latino culture, the quinceanera’s a big thing – it’s when a girl becomes a woman. But I think age is just a number – you become a woman with the responsibilities you take on and the decisions you make. I started realizing that every day is a gift – you have every day to be thankful you’re alive. – Emily Rios
557. I’m just so lucky – my office is a racetrack. That is something I’m very thankful for. It’s exciting, and it’s challenging, and there are a lot of emotions and nerves that come with it, but right there before the gates open, before that minute and a half or two minutes of the race, it just hits you. – Chantal Sutherland
558. I’m especially thankful for being able to coach so many talented young men over my 18 years here. It has been so rewarding to see these players come to OU and mature over a four- or five-year career, and not just on the field. To play a small part in their growth is what I will always cherish the most. – Bob Stoops
559. All I ever wanted really, and continue to want out of life, is to give 100 percent to whatever I’m doing and to be committed to whatever I’m doing and then let the results speak for themselves. Also to never take myself or people for granted and always be thankful and grateful to the people who helped me. – Jackie Joyner-Kersee
560. Those who give themselves to prayer should in a special manner have always a devotion to St. Joseph; for I know not how any man can think of the Queen of the angels, during the time that she suffered so much with the Infant Jesus, without giving thanks to St. Joseph for the services he rendered them then. – Saint Teresa of Avila
561. I’m just shocked and thankful that I’ve gotten away with everything – experimenting here, trying at this, failing at that, being good in some things, not so good in others. It’s kind of amazing that people are still sticking by me. When they come up to me in the street, I just want to write them all cheques. – Michael Keaton
562. I feel like I’m an ordinary person, but I’ve had extraordinary opportunities in my later life, and I never saw any of it coming. I never saw ‘The Office’ coming, I never saw ‘Inside Out’ coming, and I just feel grateful and thankful to have these opportunities and to have an actual real enthusiasm in my life. – Phyllis Smith
563. What’s funny is my mom took me to the theater for the first time when I was six years old, and I was just amazed by it. I just said, ‘Hey Mom, can I do this too?’ And so she signed me up for little theater classes, and I remember my first audition for a play when I was seven years old was for ‘The Thankful Elf.’ – Dana Davis
564. Shakhtar specifically are proud when traditional clubs from Europe come knocking, and I knew it would be quite hard to convince them to let me join City. Listen, I am absolutely thankful for the opportunity they gave me, but I also think I worked my socks off for that club, and it was time to look after my career. – Fernandinho
565. I will tell you what, the Rock was my nemesis. We did enough for each other; we put each other over to be famous. If we didn’t have that feud with each other, we wouldn’t have had the success we both had in pro wrestling. We really did build each other. I’m very thankful we had those opportunities and those matches. – Ken Shamrock
566. Fame is a funny thing. I like doing normal things. I like going to fairs. I like going to ball games. I like going to Disney World or a big field on the Fourth of July and having picnics with friends. The problem is you’re either worried you’re going to be recognized, or you’re thankful you’re not. It’s always there. – Chris Evans
567. I’m a storyteller. I’m always willing to serve the story, a story I believe in, in whatever way is necessary. If I need to write the story I believe in, I will write it. If I’ve been offered to act in a story that I truly believe in, I will happily do that, but I’m a storyteller. That’s something I’m so thankful for. – Danai Gurira
568. I’m honored and thankful to be partnering with the prestigious CFDA as one of the men’s wear ambassadors for fashion week. My interest in fashion is only matched by my love for music, and I’m blessed to be given an opportunity to learn about some of my favorite designers from a firsthand look at their latest collections. – J Balvin
569. So when I look back at ‘Saw’ and ‘Insidious,’ I just think, ‘Wow. Both of those films went way past what we ever could’ve dreamt for them’ and it makes me genuinely thankful, like every single day, once a day, even if it’s just for thirty seconds, sitting in my car, I have a moment where I’m like, I can’t believe I’m here. – Leigh Whannell
570. I dreamed about this as a kid, that I would write – and people would read – a whole series of books. I feel accomplished, giddy, and tired. Mostly, though, I feel thankful. A trilogy is a huge investment on the part of author, publisher, and reader, and I’m grateful that so many people were willing to invest along with me. – Rae Carson
571. China has not established the rule of law and if there is a power above the law there is no social justice. Everybody can be subjected to harm. I’m just a citizen: my life is equal in value to any other. But I’m thankful that when I lost my freedom so many people shared feelings and put such touching effort into helping me. – Ai Weiwei
572. The Internet is part of my job, so I have to approach it with a level of professionalism. I don’t necessarily think it’s changed who I am, but if anything, it’s impacted the opportunities that have come into my life and the people that I’ve been able to develop relationships with – which I’m very fortunate and thankful for. – Franchesca Ramsey
573. Mum and Dad had waited 16 years for adoption laws to change in their home state, Tasmania, so that they could apply to the authorities to create the family of their dreams. I am so thankful for their endurance and patience. Who knows what would have happened to me if they hadn’t miraculously appeared when I needed them most? – Saroo Brierley
574. I’ve learned an enormous amount about the business itself, about what it takes – the stamina and the dedication and the diligence – to succeed out here… And I’m very, very thankful, and I have a wonderful career, but it’s hard work… I’m very comfortable with who I am as an actor now and excited to try all kinds of things. – Nicholas D’Agosto
575. Adidas is just right. They’ve been, like, a partner I couldn’t be more thankful for. I really feel like they’ve helped increase my popularity. You know? It’s tight to be able to attach to their brand and be able to add whatever I can offer to their brand. It’s nice to know that they appreciate it. They are always showing love. – Big Sean
576. ‘In A World…’ changed my life a thousand per cent. I feel thankful that something I believed in so much – I love dialect, so I dedicated five years of my life to making a film about it – yielded such rewards. It led to ‘Man Up,’ as well as ‘No Escape,’ which comes out later this year… two movies where I am the female lead. – Lake Bell
577. I’m thankful God has given us the technology where we can see each other through Skype on the computer. It’s not the same thing, but at least we can see each other. Imagine the time before when that wasn’t available and people had to go defend our country. It’s really hard. I go two weeks without seeing my family and I go crazy. – Albert Pujols
578. Years ago, it was pretty hard to get people to empathize even a little bit with scaly, cold-blooded critters; now, thanks a lot to good PR from television, it is easier to get the message of reptile conservation and tolerance across. We have a lot to be thankful to reptiles for, not the least of which is their control of rodents. – Romulus Whitaker
579. I’ve gone to normal clubs, straight clubs, and I’ve gone to gay clubs to party with my friends and fans. There’s no difference. I have nothing to prove. I’m very comfortable in my own skin, and I’m thankful to have as many close gay friends as I have, people who have been so supportive in my life and have always been there for me. – Nick Jonas
580. I’m really aware of the conversations that surround young actresses in Hollywood. I always get myself into a hole with these conversations, and I get weirdly quoted, and I sound militant and like I’m not thankful at all, and I’m so thankful of everything that’s happening. But I’m an active observer of the machinations of this world. – Mackenzie Davis
581. Making ‘The Invitation’ and waiting to make it on my terms and getting final cut and doing it the way I needed to do it was incredibly challenging, but it has really been so great for me. I’m so thankful that that’s happened, that I got to work with actors I really like and have just such a good experience in delving into that story. – Karyn Kusama
582. I am definitely a Type A personality, always rushing around, trying to do too much, not good at just lying on the beach. But I’m so thankful for everything I have: wonderfully supportive parents and sisters, the best husband in the world, terrific students I love teaching and hanging out with, and above all, my two amazing daughters. – Amy Chua
583. I suffer the mortification of seeing myself attacked right and left by people at home professing patriotism and love of country who never heard the whistle of a hostile bullet. I pity them and the nation dependent on such for its existence. I am thankful, however that, though such people make a great noise, the masses are not like them. – Ulysses S. Grant
584. I anticipated we would go to college, and then we would fade out – that was kind of what we wanted at the time – but social media hung onto my brother and I, and thankfully, fans hung onto my brother and I, and I think it’s one of the reasons that this reemergence can come back with a little more strength, and I’m very thankful for that. – Cole Sprouse
585. It’s deeper than the music when it comes to me and Mustard. He’s like a big brother, and I’m so thankful to have a mentor like him to advise me. Even though he gives me a lot of creative control, I always go to him like, ‘Do you like this?’ It’s so cool that it’s always a collaborative effort. He never makes me feel pressured or anything. – Ella Mai
586. It was a free-for-all with music when I was growing up. My mother was a huge music fanatic so I was listening to everything from country to heavy metal to Indigo Girls to Elton John. I guess when I was really young I didn’t like Willie Nelson, and she obviously loved him. Now I do too, I’m so thankful to her for playing his music nonstop. – Tig Notaro
587. I want to be thankful for all of the things that I’ve been blessed with, and I’ve had a great run. I have a huge fan base, and I’m still able to work a lot. I don’t know if I’ll ever have another big impact record on commercial radio again, but you know, everybody’s gonna have to face the reality that their day’s gonna come to an end, too. – Tracy Lawrence
588. I write about the power of trying, because I want to be okay with failing. I write about generosity because I battle selfishness. I write about joy because I know sorrow. I write about faith because I almost lost mine, and I know what it is to be broken and in need of redemption. I write about gratitude because I am thankful – for all of it. – Kristin Armstrong
589. I am very, very proud I am also Turkish and both of my parents are from Turkey. I was born in Germany and grew up there. By playing football, I learned my different cultures, and that is an advantage if you grow up as a person. You get a different view on certain things. I am very, very thankful I was able to pick the best from many cultures. – Mesut Ozil
590. People can say what they want about Eric Bischoff, and I’ve heard a lot of people make negative comments about him. I’ll comment on his booking. His booking is not what I look for in wrestling, but that said, I will always be appreciative and thankful to Eric Bischoff for offering me the contract he did, when did because it saved my financial life. – Shane Douglas
