More quotes by John Templeton
Do your homework or hire wise experts to help you. Never jump into a business you have no idea about.
John Templeton
The correct description is that we try every day to become more humble when we talk about divinity, we try to realize how little we know and how open minded we should be. It's self centered to think that human beings, as limited as we are, can describe divinity.
John Templeton
Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth... Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it. .
John Templeton
High ethics and religious principles form the basis for success and happiness in every area of life.
John Templeton
Invest at the point of maximum pessimism.
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
Thanksgiving being thankful or grateful results in more to be thankful for.
John Templeton

John Templeton
Never forget: the secret of creating riches for oneself is to create them for others.
John Templeton
The idea that an individual can find God is terribly self-centered. It is like a wave thinking it can find the sea.
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
Anybody who had come up with a new concept would have been under suspicion for being out of step with the tradition or out of step with the teachings of the church.
John Templeton
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.
John Templeton
I'm really convinced that our descendants a century or two from now will look back at us with the same pity that we have toward the people in the field of science two centuries ago.
John Templeton
If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently from the crowd.
John Templeton
Help yourself by helping others.
John Templeton
Sell a stock only when you have found a new stock that is a 50% better bargain than the one that you hold.
John Templeton
Politicians who are willing to spend too much are the ones who get reelected.
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.
