Prediction, not narration, is the real test of our understanding of the world.

If one puts an infinite number of monkeys in front of typewriters, and lets them clap away, there is a certainty that one of them will come out with an exact version of the 'Iliad.'

If you hear a "prominent" economist using the word 'equilibrium,' or 'normal distribution,' do not argue with him; just ignore him, or try to put a rat down his shirt.

If you don't feel that you haven't read enough, you haven't read enough.

The fool generalizes the particular; the nerd particularizes the general; some do both; and the wise does neither

The more data we have, the more likely we are to drown in it.

Most people are sceptical about the wrong things and gullible about the wrong things.
