P. T. Barnum
Medicine is the means by which we poor feeble creatures try to keep from dying or aching.
P. T. Barnum

The orthodox faith painted God as a revengeful being, and yet people talk about loving such a being.
P. T. Barnum
Advertising is to a genuine article what manure is to land, - it largely increases the product.
P. T. Barnum
But however mysterious is nature , however ignorant the doctor, however imperfect the present state of physical science , the patronage and the success of quacks and quackeries are infinitely more wonderful than those of honest and laborious men of science and their careful experiments.
P. T. Barnum
