More quotes by 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
If governments encourage people to become more spiritual there will be a reduction in healthcare costs.
John Templeton
For all long-term investors, there is only one objective-maximum total real return after taxes.
John Templeton
True peace is a quality you carry within yourself, regardless of external circumstances.
John Templeton
Anybody who had come up with a new concept would have been under suspicion for being out of step with the tradition or out of step with the teachings of the church.
John Templeton
As we learn to share and give and care, love increases. A person who knows how to love does not seem to feel lonely or alone. In this sense, the power of love can become a true weapon against harm.
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
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
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.
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
Thanksgiving being thankful or grateful results in more to be thankful for.
John Templeton
If you are not egotistical, you will welcome the opportunity to learn more.
John Templeton
Let's worship Divinity, but understand the divinity we worship is beyond our comprehension.
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 time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy.
John Templeton
Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth... Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it. .
John Templeton
If we become increasingly humble about how little we know, we may be more eager to search.
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
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
Invest at the point of maximum pessimism.
