In the end we must have people to match our principles, not the reverse.

The problem with commodities is that you are betting on what someone else would pay for them in six months. The commodity itself isn't going to do anything for you....it is an entirely different game to buy a lump of something and hope that somebody else pays you more for that lump two years from now than it is to buy something that you expect to produce income for you over time.

The [stock] market,like the Lord, helps those who help themselves. But, unlike the Lord, the market does not forgive those who know not what they do.

All I have to do is think and not be influenced by others.

Investors making purchases in an overheated market need to recognize that it may often take an extended period for the value of even an outstanding company to catch up with the price they paid.

The most important investment you can make is in yourself... nobody can tax it or take it away from you.

Stocks are the only thing that people are happy to buy when the price goes up.
