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.

More quotes by P. T. Barnum
When a man is in the right path, he must persevere.
P. T. Barnum
Advertising is to a genuine article what manure is to land, - it largely increases the product.
P. T. Barnum
You know I had rather be laughed at than not to be noticed at all.
P. T. Barnum
I am a showman by profession... and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me.
P. T. Barnum
Politics and government are certainly among the most important of practical human interests.
P. T. Barnum
Witchcraft is one of the most baseless, absurd, disgusting and silly of all the humbugs.
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
The best kind of charity is to help those who are willing to help themselves.
P. T. Barnum
Engage in one kind of business only, and stick to it faithfully until you succeed, or until you conclude to abandon it. A constant hammering on one nail will generally drive it home at last, so that it can be clinched.
P. T. Barnum
You can fool most of the people most of the time.
P. T. Barnum
There is a fool born every minute
P. T. Barnum
To forgive heals the wound, to forget heals the scar.
P. T. Barnum
In fact, as a general thing, money-getters are the benefactors of our race.
P. T. Barnum
I risked much, but I made much.
P. T. Barnum
More persons, on the whole, are humbugged by believing in nothing, than by believing too much.
P. T. Barnum
Advertising is like learning - a little is a dangerous thing.
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
The wonders of the ages assembled for your edification, education and enjoyment - for a price.
P. T. Barnum
Without publicity a terrible thing happens: nothing.
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.
