Kindness comes back like a boomerang to those who are kind. Perhaps, its return takes years. Perhaps, the kindness returns from a different direction than that which we sent out kindness. But it will return. It is never lost.

More quotes by John Templeton
Be very careful. Giving because we think we will get something back will not work. You must be 100 percent willing to give and never experience any return, or it will not work.
John Templeton
Everyone has special talents, and it is our duty to find ours and use them well.
John Templeton
Before this century is over, the Dow Jones Industrial Average will probably be over one million versus around 10,000 now. So for the long-term, the outlook is tremendously bullish if you buy stocks blindly to keep for a century.
John Templeton
If you are not egotistical, you will welcome the opportunity to learn more.
John Templeton
Each of us has a purpose for living beyond our own survival and pleasure. Every individual is like a thread in a beautiful tapestry with a vital contribution to make, not only to the sustenance of life as we know it, but in the creation and development of more beneficial expressions of life.
John Templeton
Help yourself by helping others.
John Templeton
Living life with a smile is like throwing yeast into a bowl of flour, adding warm water and waiting for the flour to rise. It multiplies may times over.
John Templeton
Hate, like prayer, changes the person involved in the activity, not the person the activity is aimed at.
John Templeton
The commitment of giving your best at all times, in all circumstances and under all conditions, can enable you to find value in, and lend value to, every experience.
John Templeton
A flower is a miracle, but it does not have the sight or speech to describe us. And our own ability is no greater than that flower when we try to describe God. His infinity covers not only one planet, but the entire solar system and 100 billion suns. That doesn't mean he is limited in his ability to be part of you.
John Templeton
The other boys at Yale came from wealthy families, and none of them were investing outside the United States, and I thought, 'That is very egotistical. Why be so shortsighted or near-sighted as to focus only on America? Shouldn't you be more open-minded?'
John Templeton
Usually God favours the people who try to do good. So, when you find that the crowd is desperately trying to sell, help them and buy. When you find that the crowd is overenthusiastically trying to buy, help them and sell. It usually works out.
John Templeton
The only way to experience love is to give it.
John Templeton
[The main focus in my life now is] to open people's minds so no one will be so conceited that they think they have the total truth. They should be eager to learn, to listen, to research and not to confine, to hurt, to kill, those who disagree with them.
John Templeton
Let no day go by without counting your blessing.
John Templeton
If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently from the crowd.
John Templeton
Invest at the point of maximum pessimism.
John Templeton
It is only by understanding the emotion of others that an investor has a chance to produce superior results.
John Templeton
Let's worship Divinity, but understand the divinity we worship is beyond our comprehension.
John Templeton
The question is not is there a God, but is there anything else except God?
