More quotes by George Soros
China could easily emerge as the great winner if the Chinese leaders handle the situation well. On the other hand, they could also turn out to be the biggest losers if they handle it poorly. If the management turns out be wrong, this could lead to a political crisis in China.

Discount the obvious, bet on the unexpected
George Soros
The only thing that could hurt me is if my success encouraged me to return to my childhood fantasies of omnipotence - but that is not likely to happen as long as I remain engaged in the financial markets, because they constantly remind me of my limitations.
George Soros
I'm only rich because I know when I'm wrong...I basically have survived by recognizing my mistakes.
George Soros
Markets are imperfect. So you do need regulation, knowing that the regulators are also human.
George Soros
The hardest thing to judge is what level of risk is safe.
George Soros
My original intention was to spend the money in my lifetime.

Proposition 19 already is a winner no matter what happens on election day. The mere fact of its being on the ballot has elevated and legitimized public discourse about marijuana and marijuana policy in ways I could not have imagined a year ago.
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
Esperanto was a very useful language, because wherever you went, you found someone to speak with.
George Soros
Well, you know, I was a human being before I became a businessman.
George Soros
Every bubble consists of a trend that can be observed in the real world and a misconception relating to that trend. The two elements interact with each other in a reflexive manner.
George Soros
If investing is entertaining, if you're having fun, you're probably not making any money. Good investing is boring.
George Soros
The lower interest rates fueled housing and consumption booms in countries such as Spain and Ireland. At the same time, Germany, struggling with the burdens of reunification, tightened its belt and became more competitive. All this led to a wide divergence in economic performance. Europe became divided into creditor and debtor countries.
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
Now that I have called you on your false accusation, you are using additional smear tactics.
George Soros
Advocating democracy has, by other people, often been taken as a form of imperialism, and not without some justification. So the important thing in a democracy is that it doesn't necessarily have to agree with what America's interests are, and it doesn't necessarily have to be serving American interests.
George Soros
The concept of a general equilibrium has no relevance to the real world (in other words, classical economics is an exercise in futility).
George Soros
An open society is a society which allows its members the greatest possible degree of freedom in pursuing their interests compatible with the interests of others.
George Soros
The people currently in charge have forgotten the first principle of an open society, namely that we may be wrong and that there has to be free discussion. That it's possible to be opposed to the policies without being unpatriotic.
George Soros
