Image
Everyone has special talents, and it is our duty to find ours and use them well.
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. .
John Templeton
Image
If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently from the crowd.
John Templeton
Image
An attitude of gratitude creates blessings. Help yourself by helping others. You have the most powerful weapons on earth - love and prayer.
John Templeton
Image
You must be a fundamentalist to be really successful in the market.
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

John Templeton
Image
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
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
Never forget: the secret of creating riches for oneself is to create them for others.
John Templeton
Image
Let no day go by without counting your blessing.
John Templeton
Image
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
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.
John Templeton
Image
True peace is a quality you carry within yourself, regardless of external circumstances.
John Templeton
Image
The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy.
John Templeton
Image
The only way to experience love is to give it.
John Templeton
Image
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.
