When people ask me how I was able to make so much money in the market during a 20-year period, I would always say I did it off the misunderstandings of others.

It's the company itself, but most of these mutual fund companies, the guy who runs the company is just a fact totem and the guy who runs the money is the power. But we really don't know who they are.

Every once in a while, the market does something so stupid it takes your breath away

But be very, very careful, because when you're playing with momentum, you're playing with fire.

Don’t ever be a stupid shadow who follows perfectly his leader no matter what foolishness his leader does!

Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.

It is not enough to have a vision. In order to have its power, you must enact your vision on earth for all to see. Only then do you have the power.

In order not to feel time's horrid fardel bruise your shoulders, grinding you into the earth, get drunk and stay that way. On what? On wine, poetry, virtue, whatever. But get drunk!

Things will get better if you just hold out long enough.

You have a huge amount of confidence when you're younger, which slowly ebbs away for the rest of your life. You think: 'No problem. I can do that. Why shouldn't I do it?'
