Give Honest and Sincere Appreciation.
You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Flattery is from the teeth out. Sincere appreciation is from the heart out.
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you.
One of the great things about being recognized is that you receive this feedback from people. It is easy to see how sincere people are. It's nothing fake or jive. They're giving sincere appreciation. And it's not that easy to express.
I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy.
Thanks are the highest form of thought.
Arouse in the other person an eager want.
No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Saying thank you is more than good manners. It is good spirituality.
It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They're absolutely free and worth a fortune
The difference between appreciation and flattery? That is simple. One is sincere and the other insincere. One comes from the heart out; the other from the teeth out. One is unselfish; the other selfish. One is universally admired; the other universally condemned.
Every time we remember to say "thank you", we experience nothing less than heaven on earth.
