More quotes by Patch Adams
All the messages our kids are getting is money-taking, not giving.
Patch Adams
When I was a girl I would look out my bedroom window at the caterpillars I envied them so much. No matter what they were before, no matter what happened to them, they could just hide away and turn into these beautiful creatures that could fly away completely untouched.
Patch Adams
When a dream takes hold of you, what can you do? You can run with it, let it run your life, or let it go and think for the rest of your life about what might have been.
Patch Adams
No one ever writes me and says, 'We have a happy hospital'. Nowhere is doing it in a healthy way. That's encouragement for me.
Patch Adams
When I hear real faithful people - whether it's a real Christian, or a real Buddhist, or a real Muslim - I hear them use the language I use for a friend. So my metaphor for God is friend.
Patch Adams
Kindness Day? Kindness Day? Do you suppose if we were kind and enthusiastic for centuries uninterruptedly, that someone would create 'Nasty, Indifferent Day'?
Patch Adams
The role of a clown and a physician are the same - it's to elevate the possible and to relieve suffering.
Patch Adams
Givers get trust quicker than other people. People trust generous people.
Patch Adams
You've got to know what you want. This is central to acting on your intentions. When you know what you want, you realize that all there is left then is time management. You'll manage your time to achieve your goals because you clearly know what you're trying to achieve in your life.
Patch Adams
I am a Doctor, but above all else I consider myself an activist for peace, justice and care for all people.
Patch Adams
See what no one else sees. See what everyone chooses not to see... out of fear, conformity or laziness. See the whole world anew each day!
Patch Adams
For me, spiritual means love in action. So if you are working for love, then you are a spiritual person.
Patch Adams
For most of human history, we lived communally in groups, and it was part of the security and nature of groups to help each other and groom each other.
Patch Adams
We can never get a re-creation of community and heal our society without giving our citizens a sense of belonging.
Patch Adams
It's such a paradox for them to say, Oh, my God, I've thrown away my life, and continue to do that for the last month of their life. I shake them, physically shake them, and say, What about now? What about now?
Patch Adams
My first reaction was that the adult world was fake and liars and basically worked for money and power. I didn't want to live in that world, so I spent a year, aged 17 to 18, trying to kill myself. I didn't want to live in a world of violence and injustice.
Patch Adams
I like giving. Doing something for somebody else feels good.
Patch Adams
Nature tops the list of potent tranquilizers and stress reducers. The mere sound of moving water has been shown to lower blood pressure.
Patch Adams
I love you without knowing how, why, or even from where

Every human being has an impact on another.
