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.

More quotes by 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
Let's worship Divinity, but understand the divinity we worship is beyond our comprehension.
John Templeton
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
High ethics and religious principles form the basis for success and happiness in every area of life.
John Templeton
If we become increasingly humble about how little we know, we may be more eager to search.
John Templeton
Invest at the point of maximum pessimism.
John Templeton
Do your homework or hire wise experts to help you. Never jump into a business you have no idea about.
John Templeton
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.
John Templeton
If you're not grateful, you're not rich - no matter how much you have.
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
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
The government of India regulates nearly everything, so there's very little progress whereas in Hong Kong the government keeps its hands off... and the standard of living has multiplied.
John Templeton
The question is not is there a God, but is there anything else except God?
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
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
Humility about how little I know has encouraged me to listen more carefully and more wisely.
John Templeton
I believe all religions are becoming obsolete, clinging to ancient concepts.
John Templeton
Never forget: the secret of creating riches for oneself is to create them for others.
John Templeton
[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.
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.
