Let no day go by without counting your blessing.

[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.

If we become increasingly humble about how little we know, we may be more eager to search.
John Templeton

I believe all religions are becoming obsolete, clinging to ancient concepts.

The only way to experience love is to give it.
John Templeton
Image
A flower is a miracle, but it does not have the sight or speech to describe us. And our own ability is no greater than that flower when we try to describe God. His infinity covers not only one planet, but the entire solar system and 100 billion suns. That doesn't mean he is limited in his ability to be part of you.
John Templeton
Image
The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy.
John Templeton
Image
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.
