Although all workers deserve to have their accomplishments recognized, more often than not, they don’t. Luckily, Friday is Employee Appreciation Day, which means bosses all over the nation will shower employees with the “thank you” they deserve.

The unofficial holiday has been celebrated in offices, factories, stores and every other type of work environment since 1995, and it allows employees to get a little recognition from their bosses for a change. While some head honchos will give their workers tokens of appreciation and treats to show how grateful they are for employees’ hard work, nothing makes an employee feel appreciated more than a simple "thanks.”

Bosses who don’t necessarily have the gift of gab shouldn’t worry, though, because there’s a whole list of quotes that show gratitude. Here are a few, collected from YourMotivationGuru, WishesMessages and Ideas.Baudville:

1. "Your personal commitment to quality is obvious in everything you do."
