More quotes by P. T. Barnum
The possession of a perfect knowledge of your business is an absolute necessity in order to insure success.
P. T. Barnum
Whatever you do, do it ardently.
P. T. Barnum
Science is the pursuit of pure truth, and the systematizing of it.
P. T. Barnum
If you hesitate, some bolder hand will stretch out before you and get the prize.
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
Advertising is like learning - a little is a dangerous thing. If a man has not the pluck to keep on advertising, all the money he has already spent is lost.
P. T. Barnum
How were the receipts today in Madison Square Garden ?
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
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
You know I had rather be laughed at than not to be noticed at all.
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
Medicine is the means by which we poor feeble creatures try to keep from dying or aching.
P. T. Barnum
Advertising is like learning - a little is a dangerous thing.
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
Every man should make his son or daughter learn some useful trade or profession, so that in these days of changing fortunes of being rich today and poor tomorrow they may have something tangible to fall back upon. This provision might save many persons from misery, who by some unexpected turn of fortune have lost all their means.
P. T. Barnum
I am a showman by profession... and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me.
P. T. Barnum
The orthodox faith painted God as a revengeful being, and yet people talk about loving such a being.
P. T. Barnum
When a man is in the right path, he must persevere.
P. T. Barnum
Money is in some respects like fire it is a very excellent servant but a terrible master.
P. T. Barnum
