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?'

Never forget: the secret of creating riches for oneself is to create them for others.

Each of us has a purpose for living beyond our own survival and pleasure. Every individual is like a thread in a beautiful tapestry with a vital contribution to make, not only to the sustenance of life as we know it, but in the creation and development of more beneficial expressions of life.
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.

Politicians who are willing to spend too much are the ones who get reelected.
John Templeton
Image
If we become increasingly humble about how little we know, we may be more eager to search.
John Templeton

The question is not is there a God, but is there anything else except God?
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
Let's worship Divinity, but understand the divinity we worship is beyond our comprehension.
John Templeton
Image
Hate, like prayer, changes the person involved in the activity, not the person the activity is aimed at.
