The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy.
John Templeton
The question is not is there a God, but is there anything else except God?
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
I focus on spiritual wealth now, and I'm busier, more enthusiastic, and more joyful than I have ever been.
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
If you're not grateful, you're not rich - no matter how much you have.
John Templeton
High ethics and religious principles form the basis for success and happiness in every area of life.
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
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
Faith does not imply a closed, but an open mind. Quite the opposite of blindness, faith appreciates the vast spiritual realities that materialists overlook by getting trapped in the purely physical.
John Templeton
I never ask if the market is going to go up or down because I don't know, and besides it doesn't matter. I search nation after nation for stocks, asking: 'Where is the one that is lowest-priced in relation to what I believe it's worth?' Forty years of experience have taught me you can make money without ever knowing which way the market is going.
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
For those properly prepared, the bear market is not only a calamity but an opportunity.
John Templeton
If a business is not ethical, it will fail, perhaps not right away but eventually.
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
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
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
The only way to experience love is to give it.
John Templeton
The person who is willing to say yes to experience is the person who discovers new frontiers.
John Templeton
Success is a process of continually seeking answers to new questions.
