When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light. Give thanks for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and give thanks for the joy of living. And if per chance you see no reason for giving thanks, rest assured the fault is in yourself.
Oklahoma Indian Chief, The Soul of the Red Man by Thomas Benton Williams (Oklahoma City, 1937) as found in One Nation Under God: The History of Prayer in America by James P. Moore, Jr. Doubleday, 2005. p.2
