More quotes by 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
Instead of spending money, I earned it.
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
There is a fool born every minute
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.
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
Nothing draws a crowd quite like a crowd.
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
Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business.
P. T. Barnum
The orthodox faith painted God as a revengeful being, and yet people talk about loving such a being.
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 wonders of the ages assembled for your edification, education and enjoyment - for a price.
P. T. Barnum
Never attempt to catch a whale with a minnow.
P. T. Barnum
I am a showman by profession... and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me.
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
There's no such thing as bad publicity.
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
To forgive heals the wound, to forget heals the scar.
P. T. Barnum
Advertising is to a genuine article what manure is to land, - it largely increases the product.
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.
