I love quotes, the best ones pack a book's worth of insight into just a few lines. Here are some of my favorites that I like to revisit from time to time.
“To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want. The world is not yet a crazy enough place to reward a whole bunch of undeserving people.”
— Charles T. Munger“Find something you enjoy doing and give it everything you've got, and the money will take care of itself.”
— Peter Lynch“It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.”
— Warren Buffett“Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”
— Warren Buffett“If you’re early on in your career and they give you a choice between a great mentor or higher pay, take the mentor every time. It’s not even close.”
— Stanley Druckenmiller“Choosing individual stocks without any idea of what you're looking for is like running through a dynamite factory with a burning match. You may live, but you're still an idiot.”
— Joel Greenblatt“A 'competence' that has no defined borders cannot be called a true competence.”
— Li Lu“Growth comes from chaos, not order.”
— Rakesh Jhunjhunwala“It's not whether you're right or wrong, but how much money you make when you're right and how much you lose when you're wrong.”
— George Soros
