More quotes by 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
Outperforming the majority of investors requires doing what they are not doing. Buying when others have despaired, and selling when they are full of hope, takes fortitude.
John Templeton
If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently from the crowd.
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
If you are not egotistical, you will welcome the opportunity to learn more.
John Templeton
Bull markets are born on pessimism, grown on skepticism, mature on optimism and die on euphoria. The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell.
John Templeton
Invest at the point of maximum pessimism.
John Templeton
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
Thanksgiving being thankful or grateful results in more to be thankful for.
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
You must be a fundamentalist to be really successful in the market.
John Templeton
If you're not grateful, you're not rich - no matter how much you have.
John Templeton
Success is a process of continually seeking answers to new questions.
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
Suppose you went to your priest and asked for help he would refer you to the Bible. But if you went the next day to your medical doctor and he referred you to the book of Hippocrates, which was written at about the same time as the Bible, you would think that was old-fashioned.
John Templeton
It is only by understanding the emotion of others that an investor has a chance to produce superior results.
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
Humility about how little I know has encouraged me to listen more carefully and more wisely.
John Templeton
The person who is willing to say yes to experience is the person who discovers new frontiers.
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.
