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.
George Soros
The reality is that financial markets are self-destabilizing occasionally they tend toward disequilibrium, not equilibrium.
George Soros
To be successful, you need leisure. You need time hanging heavily on your hands.
George Soros
The scope for improvement is infinite, precisely because perfection is unattainable.
George Soros
Now that I have called you on your false accusation, you are using additional smear tactics.
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
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
If investing is entertaining, if you're having fun, you're probably not making any money. Good investing is boring.
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

George Soros
A full and fair discussion is essential to democracy.
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
Markets are imperfect. So you do need regulation, knowing that the regulators are also human.
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
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
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
I rely a great deal on animal instincts.
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
The sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions.
George Soros
I admire Chancellor Merkel for her leadership qualities, but she is leading Europe in the wrong direction.
