Thanksgiving Toasts

"To all our families far and near,
To all our friends throughout the year;
Be thankful for that which comes your way,
So many are in need each and every day.
Embrace both your health and your time spent together,
As one can't predict when change comes in the weather." ~ me

"May you live all the years of your life." – Jonathan Swift

"Friendship is the wine of life; Let's drink of it, and to it." – Anon.

"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. " - W.T. Purkiser

"May your belly never grumble
May your heart never ache.
May your horse never stumble,
May your cinch never break." — Traditional

“Whose bread I eat, his song I sing.”— Anonymous

With wine and cake we make a toast,
And bring a blessing to our host. ~ Anon.

“Blest be that spot, where cheerful guests retire
To pause from toil, and trim their evening fire;
Blest that abode, where want and pain repair,
And every stranger finds a ready chair;
Blest be those feasts with simple plenty crowned,
Where all the ruddy family around
Laugh at the jests or pranks that never fail,
Or sigh with pity at some mournful tale;
Or press the bashful stranger to his food,
And learn the luxury of doing good.” — Oliver Goldsmith, The Traveler
