“My approach works not by making valid predictions but by allowing me to correct false ones.”

Stock market bubbles don’t grow out of thin air. They have a solid basis in reality, but reality as distorted by a misconception.

The financial markets generally are unpredictable. So that one has to have different scenarios… The idea that you can actually predict what’s going to happen contradicts my way of looking at the market.

The world order needs a major overhaul.

If investing is entertaining, if you’re having fun, you’re probably not making any money. Good investing is boring.

Law has become a business. Health care has become a business. Unfortunately, politics has also become a business. That really undermines society.

Market prices are always wrong.

There is always a divergence between our perception and what actually exists.

The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States. [This idea] happens to coincide with the prevailing opinion in the world. And I think that’s rather shocking for Americans to hear.

My main concern is with the world order.

I should never go with rumors because they’re often not correct.

Laughter is the corrective force which prevents us from becoming cranks.

Every dictatorship has ultimately strangled in the web of repression it wove for its people, making mistakes that could not be corrected because criticism was prohibited.

Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to?

If you really look at my lyrics, nobody’s exempt. Nobody’s exempt from observation, criticism or what I think is correction.

Classical education has deformed everything, and has imposed upon us as geniuses men of correct, facile talent, who follow the beaten track.

I beseech you to correct one fault – severe speech of others; never speak evil of any man, no matter what the facts may be.
