More quotes by P. T. Barnum
No profession, trade, or calling, is overcrowded in the upper story.
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
If you hesitate, some bolder hand will stretch out before you and get the prize.
P. T. Barnum
If I shoot at the sun, I may hit a star.
P. T. Barnum
Without publicity a terrible thing happens: nothing.
P. T. Barnum
Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business.
P. T. Barnum
Medicine is the means by which we poor feeble creatures try to keep from dying or aching.
P. T. Barnum
Small does of advertising result in nothing, obviously. It's like giving a sick person half the medicine he needs. It just causes more suffering. Give the whole dose, and the cure will be certain and decisive.
P. T. Barnum
Never attempt to catch a whale with a minnow.
P. T. Barnum
There is a fool born every minute
P. T. Barnum
Advertising is like learning - a little is a dangerous thing.
P. T. Barnum
You can fool most of the people most of the time.
P. T. Barnum
Witchcraft is one of the most baseless, absurd, disgusting and silly of all the humbugs.
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
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
You know I had rather be laughed at than not to be noticed at all.
P. T. Barnum
The desire for wealth is nearly universal, and none can say it is not laudable, provided the possessor of it accepts its responsibilities, and uses it as a friend to humanity.
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
The wonders of the ages assembled for your edification, education and enjoyment - for a price.
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
