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.

More quotes by 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
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
Never forget: the secret of creating riches for oneself is to create them for others.
John Templeton
I believe all religions are becoming obsolete, clinging to ancient concepts.
John Templeton
Success is a process of continually seeking answers to new questions.
John Templeton
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.
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
If governments encourage people to become more spiritual there will be a reduction in healthcare costs.
John Templeton
If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently from the crowd.
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
For all long-term investors, there is only one objective-maximum total real return after taxes.
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
Invest at the point of maximum pessimism.
John Templeton
True peace is a quality you carry within yourself, regardless of external circumstances.
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 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
Politicians who are willing to spend too much are the ones who get reelected.
John Templeton
The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy.
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.
