George Matthew Adams Quotes

«There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.»
«There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I don't care how great, how famous or successful a man or woman may be, each hungers for applause.»
«A cheerful frame of mind, reinforced by relaxation... is the medicine that puts all ghosts of fear on the run.»
«It's what each of us sows, and how, that gives to us character and prestige. Seeds of kindness, goodwill, and human understanding, planted in fertile soil, spring up into deathless friendships, big deeds of worth, and a memory that will not soon fade...»
«What you think means more than anything else in your life. More than what you earn, more than where you live, more than your social position, and more than what anyone else may think about you.»
«Each day can be one of triumph if you keep up your interests.»
«We cannot waste time. We can only waste ourselves.»
«There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others.»
