More quotes by John Templeton
The person who is willing to say yes to experience is the person who discovers new frontiers.
John Templeton
If a business is not ethical, it will fail, perhaps not right away but eventually.
John Templeton
If we become increasingly humble about how little we know, we may be more eager to search.
John Templeton
For those properly prepared, the bear market is not only a calamity but an opportunity.
John Templeton
The question is not is there a God, but is there anything else except God?
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
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
[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.
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
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

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
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
Outperforming the majority of investors requires doing what they are not doing. Buying when others have despaired, and selling when they are full of hope, takes fortitude.
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 you're not grateful, you're not rich - no matter how much you have.
John Templeton
For all long-term investors, there is only one objective-maximum total real return after taxes.
John Templeton
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
The only way to experience love is to give it.
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.
