More quotes by P. T. Barnum
No profession, trade, or calling, is overcrowded in the upper story.
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
The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.
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

The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.
P. T. Barnum

P. T. Barnum
When a man is in the right path, he must persevere.
P. T. Barnum
There's no such thing as bad publicity.
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
He who is without a newspaper is cut off from his species.
P. T. Barnum
The possession of a perfect knowledge of your business is an absolute necessity in order to insure success.
P. T. Barnum
If I shoot at the sun, I may hit a star.
P. T. Barnum
Medicine is the means by which we poor feeble creatures try to keep from dying or aching.
P. T. Barnum
How were the receipts today in Madison Square Garden ?
P. T. Barnum
Science is the pursuit of pure truth, and the systematizing of it.
