More quotes by P. T. Barnum
When a man is in the right path, he must persevere.
P. T. Barnum
The orthodox faith painted God as a revengeful being, and yet people talk about loving such a being.

P. T. Barnum
Small does of advertising result in nothing, obviously. It's like giving a sick person half the medicine he needs. It just causes more suffering. Give the whole dose, and the cure will be certain and decisive.
P. T. Barnum
The desire for wealth is nearly universal, and none can say it is not laudable, provided the possessor of it accepts its responsibilities, and uses it as a friend to humanity.
P. T. Barnum
Without publicity a terrible thing happens: nothing.
P. T. Barnum
More persons, on the whole, are humbugged by believing in nothing, than by believing too much.
P. T. Barnum

P. T. Barnum
Your success depends on what you do yourself, with your own means
P. T. Barnum
There's no such thing as bad publicity.
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
You know I had rather be laughed at than not to be noticed at all.
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
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
No profession, trade, or calling, is overcrowded in the upper story.
P. T. Barnum
