More quotes by P. T. Barnum
Politics and government are certainly among the most important of practical human interests.
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
Men, women, and children who cannot live on gravity alone need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is, in my opinion, in a business established by the Creator of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain.
P. T. Barnum

More persons, on the whole, are humbugged by believing in nothing, than by believing too much.
P. T. Barnum
Your success depends on what you do yourself, with your own means

How were the receipts today in Madison Square Garden ?
P. T. Barnum
In fact, as a general thing, money-getters are the benefactors of our race.
P. T. Barnum
I am indebted to the press of the United States for almost every dollar which I possess.
P. T. Barnum
The wonders of the ages assembled for your edification, education and enjoyment - for a price.
P. T. Barnum
You can fool most of the people most of the time.

Whatever you do, do it ardently.
P. T. Barnum
I risked much, but I made much.
P. T. Barnum
Advertising is to a genuine article what manure is to land, - it largely increases the product.
P. T. Barnum
Instead of spending money, I earned it.
