More quotes by John Maynard Keynes
The important thing for Government is not to do things which individuals are doing already, and to do them a little better or a little worse but to do those things which at present are not done at all.
John Maynard Keynes
Most, probably, of our decisions to do something positive, the full consequences of which will be drawn out over many days to come, can only be taken as the result of animal spirits-a spontaneous urge to action rather than inaction, and not as the outcome of a weighted average of quantitative benefits multiplied by quantitative probabilities.
John Maynard Keynes
Education: the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent.
John Maynard Keynes
When my information changes, I alter my conclusions. What do you do, sir?
John Maynard Keynes
I was suffering from my chronic delusion that one good share is safer than ten bad ones, and I am always forgetting that hardly anyone else shares this particular delusion.
John Maynard Keynes
Most men love money and security more, and creation and construction less, as they get older.
John Maynard Keynes
Investment based on genuine long-term expectations is so difficult today as to be scarcely practicable.
John Maynard Keynes
The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that still carries any reward.
John Maynard Keynes
In a regime of Free Trade and free economic intercourse it would be of little consequence that iron lay on one side of a political frontier, and labour, coal, and blast furnaces on the other. But as it is, men have devised ways to impoverish themselves and one another and prefer collective animosities to individual happiness.
John Maynard Keynes
Newton was not the first of the age of reason, he was the last of the magicians.
John Maynard Keynes
It has been pointed out already that no knowledge of probabilities, less in degree than certainty, helps us to know what conclusions are true, and that there is no direct relation between the truth of a proposition and its probability. Probability begins and ends with probability.
John Maynard Keynes
It is generally agreed that casinos should, in the public interest, be inaccessible and expensive. And perhaps the same is true of Stock Exchanges.
John Maynard Keynes
It is a mistake to think that one limits one’s risk by spreading too much between enterprises about which one knows little and has no reason for special confidence.
John Maynard Keynes
Like all his type, Newton was wholly aloof from women.
John Maynard Keynes
Chess is a cure for headaches.
John Maynard Keynes
The division of the spoils between the victors will also provide employment for a powerful office, whose doorsteps the greedy adventurers and jealous concession hunters of twenty or thirty nations will crowd and defile.
John Maynard Keynes
If farming were to be organised like the stock market, a farmer would sell his farm in the morning when it was raining, only to buy it back in the afternoon when the sun came out.
John Maynard Keynes
Men will not always die quietly.
John Maynard Keynes
Nothing mattered except states of mind, chiefly our own.
John Maynard Keynes
Obstinacy can bring only a penalty and no reward.
