John Templeton
Image
Basic reality seems to be that the more you try to be like God by radiating unlimited love, the more you become flooded by waves of love from others and from God.
John Templeton
Image
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.

Politicians who are willing to spend too much are the ones who get reelected.
John Templeton
Image
It is nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
John Templeton
Image
Everyone has special talents, and it is our duty to find ours and use them well.
John Templeton

I focus on spiritual wealth now, and I'm busier, more enthusiastic, and more joyful than I have ever been.
