The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible.

Never follow the crowd.

Our problem in money-making or government affairs is how to remain properly venturesome and experimental without making fools of ourselves.

Approach each new problem not with a view of finding what you hope will be there, but to get the truth, the realities that must be grappled with. You may not like what you find. In that case you are entitled to try to change it. But do not deceive yourself as to what you do find to be the facts of the situation.

In trading/ investing it's not about how much you make, but how much you don't lose

We can't cross that bridge until we come to it, but I always like to lay down a pontoon ahead of time.

When beggars and shoeshine boys, barbers and beauticians can tell you how to get rich it is time to remind yourself that there is no more dangerous illusion than the belief that one can get something for nothing.
