“Bull markets go to people’s heads. If you’re a duck on a pond, and it’s rising due to a downpour, you start going up in the world. But you think it’s you, not the pond.”

This is a good life lesson: getting the right people into your system is the most important thing you can do.

I did not succeed in life by intelligence. I succeeded because I have a long attention span.

If you don’t keep learning, other people will pass you by. Temperament alone won’t do it – you need a lot of curiosity for a long, long time.

Our job is to find a few intelligent things to do, not to keep up with every damn thing in the world.

The game of life is the game of everlasting learning. At least it is if you want to win.

I don’t spend much time regretting the past, once I’ve taken my lesson from it. I don’t dwell on it.

It takes character to sit there with all that cash and do nothing. I didn’t get to where I am by going after mediocre opportunities.

The wise ones bet heavily when the world offers them that opportunity. They bet big when they have the odds. And the rest of the time, they don’t. It’s just that simple.

Any year that you don’t destroy one of your best-loved ideas is probably a wasted year.

A great business at a fair price is superior to a fair business at a great price.

It’s a good habit to trumpet your failures and be quiet about your successes.

Hard work, honesty, if you keep at it, will get you almost anything.

It’s not greed that drives the world, but envy.

It never ceases to amaze me to see how much territory can be grasped if one merely masters and consistently uses all the obvious and easily learned principles.

Step by step you get ahead, but rarely in fast spurts.

Someone will always be getting richer faster than you. This is not a tragedy.

Hold your head high and look today straight in the eye.

Vanity working on a weak head, produces every sort of mischief.

The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful then a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right when the head is totally wrong

Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.

I’ve never really had much of an imagination. But still I would try to picture the exact moment when the beating of my heart would no longer be going on inside my head.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading

Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.
