Henry Ward Beecher Quotes

You can have all the fame and all the money, but the important thing is the person. All the rest can help, but it isn't important.

Your real wealth can be measured not by what you have but by who you are.

You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being - not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money - but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason.
