The only way to experience love is to give it.
John Templeton
Image
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.

For those properly prepared, the bear market is not only a calamity but an opportunity.
John Templeton
Image
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. .

True peace is a quality you carry within yourself, regardless of external circumstances.

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.

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.

If we become increasingly humble about how little we know, we may be more eager to search.
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.

Success is a process of continually seeking answers to new questions.
John Templeton
Image
High ethics and religious principles form the basis for success and happiness in every area of life.
John Templeton
Image
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
Image
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
Image
For all long-term investors, there is only one objective-maximum total real return after taxes.
John Templeton
Image
Sell a stock only when you have found a new stock that is a 50% better bargain than the one that you hold.

Let's worship Divinity, but understand the divinity we worship is beyond our comprehension.
John Templeton
Image
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.

If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently from the crowd.
