P. T. Barnum
Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only set their minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is easily done.
P. T. Barnum
Science is the pursuit of pure truth, and the systematizing of it.
P. T. Barnum
Nothing draws a crowd quite like a crowd.
