More quotes by George Soros
The main difference between me and other people who have amassed this kind of money is that I am primarily interested in ideas, and I don't have much personal use for money.
George Soros
The pro-Israel lobby has been remarkably successful in suppressing criticism. Politicians challenge it at their peril because of the lobby's ability to influence political contributions.
George Soros
Who most benefits from keeping marijuana illegal? The greatest beneficiaries are the major criminal organizations in Mexico and elsewhere that earn billions of dollars annually from this illicit trade - and who would rapidly lose their competitive advantage if marijuana were a legal commodity.
George Soros
Economic history is a never-ending series of episodes based on falsehoods and lies, not truths. It represents the path to big money. The object is to recognize the trend whose premise is false, ride that trend and step off before it is discredited.
George Soros
In politics, manipulating reality can take presidence over finding reality.
George Soros
There is always a divergence between our perception and what actually exists.
George Soros
I have made it a principle to give advice that does not serve my personal interest but rather the common interests.
George Soros
These public-private partnerships are very, very dangerous. The most rotten part of the financial system in the US consisted of the government sponsored entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They really kicked off this crisis. The state should set the rules and enforce them - but not become involved as a market player.
George Soros
Increase your bets when you are confident and scale down your positions when you don't have conviction.
George Soros
You could adjust the punishment to fit the infraction. Even a small fine would be enough to bring an errant government to heel.
George Soros
America needs to follow the policies it has introduced in Germany. We have to go through a certain de-Nazification process.
George Soros
The trouble with institutional investors is that their performance is usually measured relative to their peer group and not by an absolute yardstick. This makes them trend followers by definition.
George Soros
I don't use my money to gain political influence for my private interests, which is what many rich people do, and what, in a sense, market fundamentalism does, because it is in the interests of people who have a lot of money to have as little taxes as possible.
George Soros
I'm not better than the next trader, just quicker at admitting my mistakes and moving on to the next opportunity.
George Soros
Studying economics is not a good preparation for dealing with it.
George Soros
It is much easier to put existing resources to better use, than to develop resources where they do not exist.
George Soros
When it comes to social consequences, they've got all different people acting in different ways, very difficult to even have a proper criterion of success. So, it's a difficult task.
George Soros
Investors operate with limited funds and intelligence, they do not need to know everything. As long as they understand something better than others, they have an edge.
George Soros
The world order needs a major overhaul.
George Soros
To be successful, you need leisure. You need time hanging heavily on your hands.
George Soros
