More quotes by P. T. Barnum
You know I had rather be laughed at than not to be noticed at all.
P. T. Barnum
But however mysterious is nature , however ignorant the doctor, however imperfect the present state of physical science , the patronage and the success of quacks and quackeries are infinitely more wonderful than those of honest and laborious men of science and their careful experiments.
P. T. Barnum
Instead of spending money, I earned it.
P. T. Barnum
The wonders of the ages assembled for your edification, education and enjoyment - for a price.
P. T. Barnum

P. T. Barnum
Whatever you do, do it ardently.
P. T. Barnum
Without publicity a terrible thing happens: nothing.
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
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
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
Fortune always favors the brave, and never helps a man who does not help himself.
P. T. Barnum
Advertising is like learning - a little is a dangerous thing.
P. T. Barnum
The orthodox faith painted God as a revengeful being, and yet people talk about loving such a being.
P. T. Barnum
No profession, trade, or calling, is overcrowded in the upper story.
P. T. Barnum
You can fool most of the people most of the time.
P. T. Barnum
Whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.
P. T. Barnum
I am indebted to the press of the United States for almost every dollar which I possess.
P. T. Barnum
He who is without a newspaper is cut off from his species.
P. T. Barnum
True economy consists in always making the income exceed the out-go. Wear the old clothes a little longer if necessary dispense with the new pair of gloves mend the old dress: live on plainer food if need be so that, under all circumstances, unless some unforeseen accident occurs, there will be a margin in favor of the income.
P. T. Barnum
