John Templeton quotes about
inspiring thank-you kindness
It is nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
optimistic thinking self
It's self-centered to think that human beings, as limited as we are, can describe divinity.
christian humility thinking
I grew up Presbyterian. Presbyterians thought the Methodists were wrong. Catholics thought all Protestants were wrong. The Jews thought the Christians were wrong. So, what I'm financing is humility. I want people to realize that you shouldn't think you know it all.
spiritual optimistic people
...Making people get over the concept that they've got the total proof. To get them to feel, 'Gee, I want to learn more. I want to hear anybody who can tell me something in addition to ways I already know about God or my spiritual principles.
optimistic divinity worship
Let's worship Divinity, but understand the divinity we worship is beyond our comprehension.
christian optimistic opportunity
I have no quarrel with what I learned in the Presbyterian church - I am still an enthusiastic Christian. But why shouldn't I try to learn more? Why shouldn't I go to Hindu services? Why shouldn't I go to Muslim services? If you are not egotistical, you will welcome the opportunity to learn more.
creating secret riches
Never forget: the secret of creating riches for oneself is to create them for others.
spiritual love-is giving
The only way to experience love is to give it.
prayer hate persons
Hate, like prayer, changes the person involved in the activity, not the person the activity is aimed at.
optimistic elderly people
How about no income tax at all on people over 65? People would continue working, remain healthier, not be an economic and social drain on society. Then the elderly would also have more disposable income to help charitable activities.
pessimism maximum
Invest at the point of maximum pessimism.
humble optimistic humble-person
Work at being a humble person.
willing persons new-frontiers
The person who is willing to say yes to experience is the person who discovers new frontiers.
spiritual reality opposites
Faith does not imply a closed, but an open mind. Quite the opposite of blindness, faith appreciates the vast spiritual realities that materialists overlook by getting trapped in the purely physical.
