More quotes by 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
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 believe all religions are becoming obsolete, clinging to ancient concepts.
John Templeton
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
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
It is nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
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
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
If governments encourage people to become more spiritual there will be a reduction in healthcare costs.
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
If you're not grateful, you're not rich - no matter how much you have.
John Templeton
If we become increasingly humble about how little we know, we may be more eager to search.
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
An attitude of gratitude creates blessings. Help yourself by helping others. You have the most powerful weapons on earth - love and prayer.
John Templeton
Hate, like prayer, changes the person involved in the activity, not the person the activity is aimed at.
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
Help yourself by helping others.
John Templeton
For those properly prepared, the bear market is not only a calamity but an opportunity.
John Templeton
Everyone has special talents, and it is our duty to find ours and use them well.
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.
