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.

Wear the old clothes a little longer if necessary dispense with the new pair of gloves mend the old dress: live on plainer food if need be so that, under all circumstances, unless some unforeseen accident occurs, there will be a margin in favor of the income.
P. T. Barnum
The possession of a perfect knowledge of your business is an absolute necessity in order to insure success.
P. T. Barnum
More persons, on the whole, are humbugged by believing in nothing, than by believing too much.
P. T. Barnum
If you hesitate, some bolder hand will stretch out before you and get the prize.
P. T. Barnum
The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.
