More quotes by George Soros
If every rich person gave 50 percent of their wealth to charity, I would not say they should pay more taxes.
George Soros
The more comprehensive and convincing a debt reduction program is, the less likely it is to fail. And remember, just as Germany is grateful to America for the Marshall Plan, Italy would be grateful to Germany for helping it lower its refinancing costs.
George Soros
Regulating and taxing marijuana would simultaneously save taxpayers billions of dollars in enforcement and incarceration costs, while providing many billions of dollars in revenue annually.
George Soros
We must recognize that as the dominant power in the world we have a special responsibility. In addition to protecting our national interests, we must take the leadership in protecting the common interests of humanity.
George Soros
I'm only rich because I know when I'm wrong...I basically have survived by recognizing my mistakes.
George Soros
The world order needs a major overhaul.
George Soros
When you sell options, you get paid for assuming risk. That can be a profitable business, but it does not mix well with the risks inherent in a leveraged portfolio.
George Soros
Markets are designed to allow individuals to look after their private needs and to pursue profit. It's really a great invention, and I wouldn't underestimate the value of that. But they're not designed to take care of social needs.
George Soros
It is better to have a cat and mouse game where the cat has the upper hand than a cat and mouse game where the mice are ruling. Because the latter means that the market participants are given free range. That was actually the big misconception of our national hero Ronald Reagan, who always talked about the magic of the market.
George Soros
Whenever there is a conflict between universal principles and self-interest, self-interest is likely to prevail.
George Soros
It is much easier to put existing resources to better use, than to develop resources where they do not exist.
George Soros
The ultimate asset bubble is gold.
George Soros
When interest rates are low we have conditions for asset bubbles to develop, and they are developing at the moment. The ultimate asset bubble is gold.
George Soros
We are the most powerful nation on earth. No external power, no terrorist organization can defeat us. But we can defeat ourselves by getting caught in a quagmire.
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
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
Every bubble has two components: something - some real trend, and a misconception about that trend.
George Soros
However, even a strong government can't perform miracles. It needs money from the taxpayers.
George Soros
There is always a divergence between our perception and what actually exists.
George Soros
Economics seeks to be a science. Science is supposed to be objective and it is difficult to be scientific when the subject matter, the participant in the economic process, lacks objectivity.
George Soros
