More quotes by John Templeton
Let's worship Divinity, but understand the divinity we worship is beyond our comprehension.
John Templeton
Politicians who are willing to spend too much are the ones who get reelected.
John Templeton
If a business is not ethical, it will fail, perhaps not right away but eventually.

John Templeton
It is only by understanding the emotion of others that an investor has a chance to produce superior results.
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
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
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
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

John Templeton
The person who is willing to say yes to experience is the person who discovers new frontiers.
John Templeton
I believe all religions are becoming obsolete, clinging to ancient concepts.
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
Living life with a smile is like throwing yeast into a bowl of flour, adding warm water and waiting for the flour to rise. It multiplies may times over.
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
A flower is a miracle, but it does not have the sight or speech to describe us. And our own ability is no greater than that flower when we try to describe God. His infinity covers not only one planet, but the entire solar system and 100 billion suns. That doesn't mean he is limited in his ability to be part of you.
John Templeton
I focus on spiritual wealth now, and I'm busier, more enthusiastic, and more joyful than I have ever been.
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.
