If you're lucky enough to have been rewarded in life to the degree that I have, there comes a point at which you have to decide whether to become a slave to your net worth by devoting the rest of your life to increasing it or to let what you've accumulated begin to serve you.

Peter Lynch
You can find good reasons to scuttle your equities in every morning paper and on every broadcast of the nightly news.
Peter Lynch
Gentlemen who prefer bonds don't know what they're missing.
Peter Lynch
Searching for companies is like looking for grubs under rocks: if you turn over 10 rocks you'll likely find one grub if you turn over 20 rocks you'll find two.
Peter Lynch
Your ultimate success or failure will depend on your ability to ignore the worries of the world long enough to allow your investments to succeed.
Peter Lynch
I like to buy a company any fool can manage because eventually one will.
Peter Lynch
All you need for a lifetime of successful investing is a few big winners, and the pluses from those will overwhelm the minuses from the stocks that don't work out.
Peter Lynch
If you can't find any companies that you think are attractive, put your money in the bank until you discover some.
Peter Lynch
I'm always fully invested. It's a great feeling to be caught with your pants up.
Peter Lynch
Well, I think the secret is if you have a lot of stocks, some will do mediocre, some will do okay, and if one of two of 'em go up big time, you produce a fabulous result. And I think that's the promise to some people.
