Forget about what the technology is. Just understand the motivation behind it.

There is slow growth, but it is positive slow growth. At the same time, ratios of debt-to-incomes go down. That's a beautiful deleveraging.

I treasure the fact there's media freedom, but with that goes responsibility. I think that there should be a self-regulatory organization and that they should start to think about standards. Because I think a lot of people say, I don't know how to read what is true versus somebody else's interpretation.

The biggest mistake investors make is to believe that what happened in the recent past is likely to persist. They assume that something that was a good investment in the recent past is still a good investment. Typically, high past returns simply imply that an asset has become more expensive and is a poorer, not better, investment.

Nature is a machine. The family is a machine. The life cycle is like a machine.

I believe that dreamers who simply imagine things that would be nice but are not possible don’t sufficiently appreciate the laws of the universe to understand the true implications of their desires, much less how to achieve them.

If inflation-adjusted interest rates decline in a given country, its currency is likely to decline.

The big question is: When will the term structure of interest rates change? That's the question to be worried about.

The more you think you know, the more closed-minded you'll be.

If it didn't happen in your life before, then you're not paying attention you don't think it's possible. But almost all important events never happen in your life before.

If you have the power to see things through somebody else's eyes, it's like going from black and white to color or two dimensions to three dimensions.

Life is like a giant smorgasbord of more delicious alternatives than you can ever hope to taste. So you have to reject having some things you want in order to get other things you want more.
