When beggars and shoeshine boys, barbers and beauticians can tell you how to get rich it is time to remind yourself that there is no more dangerous illusion than the belief that one can get something for nothing.

Learn to take losses quickly and cleanly. There is something about inside information which seems to paralyze a man's reasoning powers.
