More quotes by P. T. Barnum
A penny here, and a dollar there, placed at interest, goes on accumulating, and in this way the desired result is attained. It requires some training, perhaps, to accomplish this economy, but when once used to it, you will find there is more satisfaction in rational saving than in irrational spending.
P. T. Barnum
When a man is in the right path, he must persevere.
P. T. Barnum
Advertising is like learning - a little is a dangerous thing. If a man has not the pluck to keep on advertising, all the money he has already spent is lost.
P. T. Barnum
Engage in one kind of business only, and stick to it faithfully until you succeed, or until you conclude to abandon it. A constant hammering on one nail will generally drive it home at last, so that it can be clinched.
P. T. Barnum
Your success depends on what you do yourself, with your own means
P. T. Barnum
Advertising is to a genuine article what manure is to land, - it largely increases the product.
P. T. Barnum
Whatever you do, do it ardently.
P. T. Barnum

A penny here, and a dollar there, placed at interest, goes on accumulating, and in this way the desired result is attained.
P. T. Barnum
To forgive heals the wound, to forget heals the scar.
P. T. Barnum
The orthodox faith painted God as a revengeful being, and yet people talk about loving such a being.
P. T. Barnum
Instead of spending money, I earned it.
P. T. Barnum
Medicine is the means by which we poor feeble creatures try to keep from dying or aching.
P. T. Barnum
Never attempt to catch a whale with a minnow.
P. T. Barnum
There is no such thing in the world as luck. There never was a man who could go out in the morning and find a purse full of gold in the street to-day, and another to-morrow, and so on, day after day: He may do so once in his life but so far as mere luck is concerned, he is as liable to lose it as to find it.
P. T. Barnum
Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business. Large stores, gilt signs, flaming advertisements, will all prove unavailing if you or your employees treat your patrons abruptly. The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.
P. T. Barnum
