First, many in Wall Street - a community in which quality control is not prized - will sell investors anything they will buy.

I mean, they were getting the mortgage of some guy in Omaha, you know, securitized a couple of times. I mean he had all these - they had all these types from Wall Street, you know, and they had advanced degrees, and they look very alert, and they came with these - they came with these things that said gamma and alpha and sigma and all that. And all I can say is beware of geeks, you know, bearing formulas. They've heard that in Europe.

The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: "I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love." But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.

You are neither right nor wrong because the crowd disagrees with you.

I lose confidence in other people, all kinds of institutions.

I think I could make you fifty percent a year on one million dollars. No, I know I could. I guarantee that.

Look for companies with high profit margins.
