A penny here, and a dollar there, placed at interest, goes on accumulating, and in this way the desired result is attained.

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
More persons, on the whole, are humbugged by believing in nothing, than by believing too much.
P. T. Barnum
No profession, trade, or calling, is overcrowded in the upper story.
