Frases de P. T. Barnum

Phineas Taylor Barnum fue un empresario, político y artista circense estadounidense, recordado por sus celebres engaños en el mundo del entretenimiento y por haber fundado el Barnum & Bailey Circus, el cual posteriormente se fusionó con el Ringling Brothers Circus para conformar el Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus.[1]​ A pesar de que Barnum fue también un autor, editor, filántropo e inclusive llegó a ser político, según dijo su único objetivo era «tener los bolsillos llenos de dinero».[cita requerida]



«Soy un showman por vocación y el dinero no me convertirá en nada mejor»[2]​
