More quotes by P. T. Barnum
There is scarcely anything that drags a person down like debt.
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
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
The best kind of charity is to help those who are willing to help themselves.
P. T. Barnum
Medicine is the means by which we poor feeble creatures try to keep from dying or aching.
P. T. Barnum
Money is in some respects like fire it is a very excellent servant but a terrible master.
P. T. Barnum
Never attempt to catch a whale with a minnow.
P. T. Barnum
Whatever you do, do it ardently.
P. T. Barnum
Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business.
P. T. Barnum
You can fool most of the people most of the time.
P. T. Barnum
I am a showman by profession... and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me.
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 I shoot at the sun, I may hit a star.
P. T. Barnum
He who is without a newspaper is cut off from his species.
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
No profession, trade, or calling, is overcrowded in the upper story.
P. T. Barnum
Instead of spending money, I earned it.
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
The wonders of the ages assembled for your edification, education and enjoyment - for a price.
