Francis Quarles Quotes

A man's ledger does not tell what he is, or what he is worth. Count what is in man, not what is on him, if you would know what he is worth-whether rich or poor.

Ask me not what I have, but what I am.

I don't care if I'm beautiful; I don't care what I am on the outside. It isn't about the outside.

I'm a firm believer that it's not the way you look or what you have, but what you've got inside.

Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.

It doesn't matter how many people adore you or how skinny, successful, smart, talented, funny, kind, or compassionate you are. None of it matters if you don't see your wonderful self.

It is not what you have on you, but what you have in you.

None of us come to this earth to gain our worth; we brought it with us.

I believe that a lot of people in our society today, people who have been hurt and even people who haven't been hurt, get their worth and value from what they do, what they look like, what they own, what kind of job they have, what kind of house they live in, how much money they have, what social circles they're in, what level of education they have, especially even how other people respond to them. They feel better about themselves if everybody is giving a smiling nod to the way they look and all their choices.

You're special-not because of what you have. You're special because of who you are.

A person's worth in this world is estimated according to the value he puts on himself.

Your net worth is not the same thing as your self-worth. Your value is not based on your valuables.

Scarcity of self value cannot be remedied by money, recognition, affection, attention or influence.

If we choose an external marker as the measure of our inner worth, whether it is the amount of money we make, or others' opinion of us, or the success of some project we're involved in, sooner or later we're bound to be battered by life's inevitable changes. After all, money comes and goes, and thus is an unstable source of self-esteem, an unreliable foundation upon which to build our identity.

One's real worth is never a quantifiable thing.

If you have real, internal value, you don't need a loud, expensive imitation.

The world will try to tell you that you need stuff to be somebody. Don't listen

It's what you're worth.

Again--nothing you do or think or wish or make is necessary to establish your worth.

You alone are the judge of your worth and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.

Is a man one whit the better because he is grown great in other men's esteem?

What is outside yourself does not convey much worth; Clothes do not make the man, the saddle not the horse.

To me, the tragedy about this whole image-obsessed society is that young girls get so caught up in just achieving that they forget to realize that they have so much more to offer the world.

Do you know the only value life has is what life puts on itself?

When someone chooses to value herself over the things she can buy, true transformation begins.
