“I am always prepared to do the right thing regardless of what other people think.”

Investing is a business where you can look very silly for a long period of time before you are proven right.

I’ve seen very few people in the world accomplish anything unless they were optimists.

In the investing business you need a – a high degree of confidence but you also need a high degree of humbleness and you have to balance those two… Humbleness comes from mistakes.

You should surround yourself with people that believe in you, in life, and in business.

Everyone told me it was a really stupid idea to start my own hedge fund right out of business school. That’s how I knew that it was a good idea.

I don’t have a professional aspiration. But I do have a personal one: I want to continue growing as a person. I want to reach out more to people, learn more from them. Ultimately, I would like to be a great justice that people remember with respect and fondness.
