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
Image
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
Image
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.

The government of India regulates nearly everything, so there's very little progress whereas in Hong Kong the government keeps its hands off... and the standard of living has multiplied.
John Templeton
Image
The person who is willing to say yes to experience is the person who discovers new frontiers.
John Templeton
Image
If a business is not ethical, it will fail, perhaps not right away but eventually.
John Templeton
Image
For all long-term investors, there is only one objective-maximum total real return after taxes.
John Templeton
Image
The question is not is there a God, but is there anything else except God? God is everyone and each of us is a little bit.
John Templeton
Image
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. .

If you're not grateful, you're not rich - no matter how much you have.

I have no quarrel with what I learned in the Presbyterian church - I am still an enthusiastic Christian. But why shouldn't I try to learn more? Why shouldn't I go to Hindu services? Why shouldn't I go to Muslim services? If you are not egotistical, you will welcome the opportunity to learn more.
