As far as anyone can tell Barnum never actually said, “There’s
a sucker born every minute,” although he may have believed it. Here are a few
things he really did say: “If you hesitate, some bolder hand will stretch out
before you and get the prize.” “No one ever made a difference by being like
everyone else.” “I don’t care what you say about me. Just spell my name right.”
“Fortune always favors the brave, and never helps a man who does not help
himself.” And “The noblest art is that of making others happy.” June 2, 1835, Phineas
T. Barnum began his first tour of the United States with his circus. The legacy
of the greatest showman finally died on May 21, 2017, when the last performance
of the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus ended at Nassau Veterans
Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.
