Quote by Eduard von Hartmann on Gratitude and Thanks

"In general, I have noticed that one must thank people as little as possible, because the gratitude one shows them gives them the impression that they might have done too much! More than once, I have seen people who were about to do a good deed refrain from doing so because those for whom they intended to act, in grateful excitement, attached an exaggerated importance to their offer." Benjamin Constant

"The struggle ends when the gratitude begins. The search is over when the finding starts. And the finding is not a finding at all, but a creating. You cannot find what you have been struggling for, but you can create it. And the jump-start of creation is gratitude." Neale Donald Walsch
