More quotes by George Soros
Advocating democracy has, by other people, often been taken as a form of imperialism, and not without some justification.

George Soros
Just as the process of repealing national alcohol prohibition began with individual states repealing their own prohibition laws, so individual states must now take the initiative with respect to repealing marijuana prohibition laws.
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
It is much easier to put existing resources to better use, than to develop resources where they do not exist.
George Soros
Markets are imperfect. So you do need regulation, knowing that the regulators are also human.
George Soros
My main concern is with the world order
George Soros
Market prices are always wrong in the sense that they present a biased view of the future.
George Soros
The strength of this country lies in the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights and the freedom of speech and thought.
George Soros
The key problem is the debt restructuring in the euro zone. As long as the debt burden is not reduced, there is no chance of the weaker EU countries regaining competitiveness.
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
The hardest thing to judge is what level of risk is safe.
