More quotes by George Soros
I admire Chancellor Merkel for her leadership qualities, but she is leading Europe in the wrong direction.
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
An open society calls itself open to improvement. It is based on the recognition that people have divergent views and interests, and that nobody is in possession of the ultimate truth.
George Soros
If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood which I felt I had to control, otherwise I might end up in the loony bin. But when I made my way in the world I wanted to indulge myself in my fantasies to the extent that I could afford.
George Soros
Changeless society is characterized by the absense of alternatives.
George Soros
When money is free, the rational lender will keep on lending until there is no one else to lend to.
George Soros
Find the trend whose premise is false, and bet against it.
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
Giving government aid to a bank basically transforms it into a utility. The huge salaries in this sector are only a symptom of a more profound misalignment. The profitability of the finance industry has been excessive. [...] That was absurd.
George Soros
We [at Soros Fund Management] use options and more exotic derivatives sparingly. We try to catch new trends early and in later stages we try to catch trend reversals. Therefore, we tend to stabilize rather than destabilize the market. We are not doing this as a public service. It is our style of making money.
George Soros
I fancied myself as some kind of god or an economic reformer like Keynes
George Soros
Political debate is more interested in manipulating the truth, than finding the truth.
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
Outperforming the market with low volatility on a consistent basis is an impossibility. I outperformed the market for 30-odd years, but not with low volatility.
George Soros
Studying economics is not a good preparation for dealing with it.
George Soros
Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is made by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected.
George Soros
My conceptual framework, which basically emphasizes the importance of misconceptions, makes me extremely critical of my own decisions. I know that I am bound to be wrong, and therefore am more likely to correct my own mistakes.
George Soros
A full and fair discussion is essential to democracy.
George Soros
The reality is that financial markets are self-destabilizing occasionally they tend toward disequilibrium, not equilibrium.
George Soros
Market prices are always wrong in the sense that they present a biased view of the future.
George Soros
