Quote by Thomas Alva Edison

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

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

Summary

This quote emphasizes that a person's value should not be determined by their possessions or material wealth but by their character, personality, and inner qualities. It suggests that true worth lies in one's unique qualities, talents, actions, and the way they treat others, rather than the external status symbols or objects they may possess. In essence, it urges individuals to focus on personal growth, kindness, and genuine connections with others instead of measuring their worth based on materialistic standards.
