Traditional wisdom is long on tradition and short on wisdom.

This economy doesn't work well without the lubrication of credit and trust.

The rest of the world really likes our stuff pretty well. It's just we buy so damn much of what they produce.

Never test the depth of river with both the feet.

I’ve never believed in risking what my family and friends have and need in order to pursue what they don’t have and don’t need.

I have no views as to where it will be, but the one thing I can tell you is it won't do anything between now and then except look at you. Whereas, you know, Coca-Cola (KO) will be making money, and I think Wells Fargo (WFC) will be making a lot of money and there will be a lot - and it's a lot - it's a lot better to have a goose that keeps laying eggs than a goose that just sits there and eats insurance and storage and a few things like that.

We will only do with your money what we would do with our own.
