More quotes by John Templeton

John Templeton
Suppose you went to your priest and asked for help he would refer you to the Bible. But if you went the next day to your medical doctor and he referred you to the book of Hippocrates, which was written at about the same time as the Bible, you would think that was old-fashioned.
John Templeton
The only way to experience love is to give it.
John Templeton

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
The question is not is there a God, but is there anything else except God? God is everyone and each of us is a little bit.
John Templeton
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
Let's worship Divinity, but understand the divinity we worship is beyond our comprehension.
John Templeton
I'm really convinced that our descendants a century or two from now will look back at us with the same pity that we have toward the people in the field of science two centuries ago.
John Templeton
Help yourself by helping others.
John Templeton
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
