Quote by George H. W. Bush

We are not the sum of our possessions.

We are not the sum of our possessions.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that our worth as individuals is not determined by the material possessions we own. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on intrinsic qualities, values, and relationships rather than purely external measures of success. Our true worth lies in our character, talents, experiences, and the connections we forge with others, rather than the accumulation of wealth or possessions. The quote serves as a reminder to prioritize what truly matters in life and to prioritize personal growth and meaningful connections over the pursuit of material gain.
