Success is a process of continually seeking answers to new questions.
John Templeton
Image
The commitment of giving your best at all times, in all circumstances and under all conditions, can enable you to find value in, and lend value to, every experience.
John Templeton
Image
True peace is a quality you carry within yourself, regardless of external circumstances.
John Templeton
Image
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
Image
The person who is willing to say yes to experience is the person who discovers new frontiers.
John Templeton
Image
[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.

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
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. .

If governments encourage people to become more spiritual there will be a reduction in healthcare costs.
John Templeton

The question is not is there a God, but is there anything else except God?
John Templeton
Image
If a business is not ethical, it will fail, perhaps not right away but eventually.
John Templeton
Image
The only way to experience love is to give it.
John Templeton
Image
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
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
Thanksgiving being thankful or grateful results in more to be thankful for.
John Templeton
Image
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
Image
Humility about how little I know has encouraged me to listen more carefully and more wisely.
John Templeton
Image
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.
