Quote by Sidney Madwed
Poor is the man who does not know his own intrinsic worth and tends to measure everything by relative value. A man of financial wealth who values himself by his financial net worth is poorer than a poor man who values himself by his intrinsic self worth.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of knowing and valuing one's own intrinsic worth rather than solely measuring one's value by external or material factors, such as financial wealth. It suggests that a person's true wealth lies in recognizing their own inherent value and worthiness, beyond any external measurements. Thus, someone who measures their self-worth solely based on their financial status is considered to be poorer than someone who may have less material wealth but values themselves based on their intrinsic worth.
