Adams, George Matthew (George Matthew Adams)

If you have nothing else to do, look about you and see if there isn't something close at hand that you can improve! It may make you wealthy, though it is more likely that it will make you happy.
-- George Matthew Adams

In this life we get only those things for which we hunt, for which we strive, and for which we are willing to sacrifice.
-- George Matthew Adams

There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I don't care how great, how famous or successful a man or woman may be, each hungers for applause.
-- George Matthew Adams

There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
-- George Matthew Adams
