Money is in some respects life's fire: it is a very excellent servant, but a terrible master. P. T. Barnum Money
Men, women, and children who cannot live on gravity alone need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is, in my opinion, in a business established by the Creator of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain. P. T. Barnum Men
In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for persons in good health to make money. P. T. Barnum Health

The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him. P. T. Barnum Best
The foundation of success in life is good health: that is the substratum fortune; it is also the basis of happiness. A person cannot accumulate a fortune very well when he is sick. P. T. Barnum Health
