To be an investor you must be a believer in a better tomorrow.

Always remember that market quotations are there for convenience, either to be taken advantage of or to be ignored.

For 99 issues out of 100 we could say that at some price they are cheap enough to buy and at some price they would be so dear that they would be sold.

I quickly convinced myself that the true key to material happiness lay in a modest standard of living which could be achieved with little difficulty under almost all economic conditions.
