Advertising is like learning - a little is a dangerous thing.
P. T. Barnum

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

P. T. Barnum
I am a showman by profession... and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me.
P. T. Barnum

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.
P. T. Barnum
There is scarcely anything that drags a person down like debt.
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
I risked much, but I made much.
