Appreciation makes for contentment.

To appreciate good fortune you must have known bad.

We often don't appreciate what we already have.

Dry bread at home is better than a feast abroad.

Home is not where we live but where we belong.

If you can't be grateful for what you have, be grateful for what you don't have.

I grumbled because I had no shoes - until I saw a man who had no feet.

To enjoy the dawn you must have lived through the night.

You will never persuade a mouse that a black cat is lucky.

We must experience the fear of death to appreciate being alive.

Never to have suffered is never to have been blessed.

Weep for the man who doesn't know his good fortune.

"You've got your eyesight and you're not in a wheelchair - so what's your problem?".
