Erma Bombeck on Thanksgiving

Don’t confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.

One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child’s name and how old he or she is.

There’s nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence.

William Jennings Bryan1860–1925

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.

We give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.
