More quotes by P. T. Barnum

P. T. Barnum
Those who really desire to attain an independence, have only set their minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is easily done.
P. T. Barnum

P. T. Barnum
Nothing draws a crowd quite like a crowd.
P. T. Barnum
If I shoot at the sun, I may hit a star.
P. T. Barnum
He who is without a newspaper is cut off from his species.
P. T. Barnum
You know I had rather be laughed at than not to be noticed at all.
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.
P. T. Barnum
If you hesitate, some bolder hand will stretch out before you and get the prize.
P. T. Barnum
To forgive heals the wound, to forget heals the scar.
P. T. Barnum
There is scarcely anything that drags a person down like debt.
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
I am indebted to the press of the United States for almost every dollar which I possess.
P. T. Barnum
