John Templeton
Image
I focus on spiritual wealth now, and I'm busier, more enthusiastic, and more joyful than I have ever been.
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
Image
If we become increasingly humble about how little we know, we may be more eager to search.
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.
John Templeton
Image
