More quotes by John Templeton
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
For those properly prepared, the bear market is not only a calamity but an opportunity.
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
True peace is a quality you carry within yourself, regardless of external circumstances.
John Templeton
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

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

John Templeton

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.

Let's worship Divinity, but understand the divinity we worship is beyond our comprehension.
John Templeton
Help yourself by helping others.
John Templeton
I believe all religions are becoming obsolete, clinging to ancient concepts.
John Templeton
Hate, like prayer, changes the person involved in the activity, not the person the activity is aimed at.
John Templeton
The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy.
John Templeton
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.
John Templeton
Thanksgiving being thankful or grateful results in more to be thankful for.
John Templeton
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
The question is not is there a God, but is there anything else except God?
