We only appreciate what we have when we lose it.
We never discover the value of things till we have lost them.
you dont know what you got till its gone
When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.
I just say 'Amen' a lot. It's just about being grateful and never taking things for granted.
Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone.
It's when you don't need something that you tend to lose it.
Sometimes we don't appreciate what we have until it's gone.
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.
One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful..we let what was once a miracle become common to us. We get so accustomed to his goodness it becomes a routine.
It’s funny how you can live somewhere your whole life, but not really see it.
It's human nature to start taking things for granted again when danger isn't banging loudly on the door.
It's like you're born with all these blessings, only you don't realize they're blessings until you lose them. And if you're thick-headed enough, like me, you don't even realize you've lost them, not until they come back to you.
All my life I've always spoiled the things that meant the most to me.
We so easily forget that we came into life with nothing. Whatever we get soon seems our natural right, not a gift. And we forget the giver. Then our gaze shifts from what we have been given to what we dont have yet. . . .
When something is working well, it becomes too easy to let things run themselves.
How blind men are to Heaven's gifts!
Men understand the worth of blessings only when they have lost them.
Say a child raises this beautiful beet. It's going to give her a sense of ownership, and that changes everything. You stop taking things for granted; you become less wasteful.
When you're very successful, you become careless and try to turn many things into routine.
Too often I would hear men boast of the miles covered that day, rarely of what they had seen.
Men can be very stupid. We cease to value what we have until it's gone, and only then do we realize the gold we glimpsed in distant hills pales as dross compared to treasure we had in hand.
Don't be lulled into complacency.
When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.
The way I see it, the impossible happens all the time; but we're so good at taking it for granted, we forget it was once impossible.
