More quotes by P. T. Barnum
To me there is no picture so beautiful as smiling, bright-eyed, happy children no music so sweet as their clear and ringing laughter.
P. T. Barnum
No profession, trade, or calling, is overcrowded in the upper story.
P. T. Barnum
Medicine is the means by which we poor feeble creatures try to keep from dying or aching.
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
Politics and government are certainly among the most important of practical human interests.
P. T. Barnum
Every man should make his son or daughter learn some useful trade or profession, so that in these days of changing fortunes of being rich today and poor tomorrow they may have something tangible to fall back upon. This provision might save many persons from misery, who by some unexpected turn of fortune have lost all their means.
P. T. Barnum
Never attempt to catch a whale with a minnow.
P. T. Barnum
The show business has all phases and grades of dignity, from the exhibition of a monkey to the exposition of that highest art in music or the drama which secures for the gifted artists a world-wide fame princes well might envy.
P. T. Barnum
Fortune always favors the brave, and never helps a man who does not help himself.
P. T. Barnum
If I was not a remarkably modest man, I should probably brag a little, and say that I had done what no American ever before accomplished by visiting the queen at her palace twice within eight days.
P. T. Barnum
More persons, on the whole, are humbugged by believing in nothing, than by believing too much.
P. T. Barnum
I risked much, but I made much.
P. T. Barnum
The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.
P. T. Barnum
Money is in some respects like fire it is a very excellent servant but a terrible master.
P. T. Barnum
Witchcraft is one of the most baseless, absurd, disgusting and silly of all the humbugs.
P. T. Barnum
Men, women, and children who cannot live on gravity alone need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is, in my opinion, in a business established by the Creator of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain.
P. T. Barnum
He who is without a newspaper is cut off from his species.
P. T. Barnum
To forgive heals the wound, to forget heals the scar.
P. T. Barnum
If I shoot at the sun, I may hit a star.
P. T. Barnum
The foundation of success in life is good health: that is the substratum fortune it is also the basis of happiness. A person cannot accumulate a fortune very well when he is sick.
