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.

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.
John Templeton
Image
If you are not egotistical, you will welcome the opportunity to learn more.
John Templeton
Image
Let's worship Divinity, but understand the divinity we worship is beyond our comprehension.
John Templeton
Image
It is nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
John Templeton
Image
Success is a process of continually seeking answers to new questions.
John Templeton
Image
If a business is not ethical, it will fail, perhaps not right away but eventually.
John Templeton
Image
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

High ethics and religious principles form the basis for success and happiness in every area of life.
John Templeton
Image
The opposite of humility is arrogance--the belief that we are wiser or better than others. Arrogance promotes separation rather than community. It looms like a brick wall between us and those from whom we could learn.
John Templeton
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

Let no day go by without counting your blessing.
John Templeton
Image
I believe all religions are becoming obsolete, clinging to ancient concepts.
John Templeton
Image
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
Image
[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.

Sell a stock only when you have found a new stock that is a 50% better bargain than the one that you hold.

Image
Help yourself by helping others.
John Templeton
Image
Everyone has special talents, and it is our duty to find ours and use them well.
John Templeton
Image
The idea that an individual can find God is terribly self-centered. It is like a wave thinking it can find the sea.
