The Laws of Nature
Phineas Taylor (P. T.) Barnum (1810 – 1891) was an American showman, businessman, scam artist and entertainer, author, publisher, philanthropist, and for some time a politician. He is remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the circus that became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Barnum is widely but erroneously credited with coining the phrase "There's a sucker born every minute." What he said was more closely to “There is a customer born every minute.”
We focus here on his insightful writings.
“The nearer we keep to the laws of nature, the nearer we are to good health, and yet how many persons there are who pay no attention to natural laws, but absolutely transgress them, even against their own natural inclination.”
~P. T. Barnum from “The Art of Money Getting”
