More quotes by Ray Dalio
I think the greatest tragedy of mankind is that people have ideas and opinions in their heads but don't have a process for properly examining these ideas to find out what's true. That creates a world of distortions.
Ray Dalio
As Harvard developmental psychologist Robert Kegan, who has studied Bridgewater, says, in most work places everyone is working two jobs. The first is whatever their actual job is the second consists of managing others' impressions of them, especially by hiding weaknesses and inadequacies - which is an enormous waste of energy.
Ray Dalio
I have found that by looking at what is rewarded and punished, and why, universally - i.e., in nature as well as in humanity - I have been able to learn more about what is good and bad than by listening to most people's views about good and bad.
Ray Dalio
Credit is a promise to deliver money. It will produce GDP but you'll create credit... So you reach a certain point that that you can't do that anymore... There are choices. And how do we best support, apportion the money? How much is going to be transferred?
Ray Dalio

I think it is in the nature of individuals and individual entities not to self-correct.
Ray Dalio
For every mistake that you learn from you will save thousands of similar mistakes in the future, so if you treat mistakes as learning opportunities that yield rapid improvements you should be excited by them. But if you treat them as bad things, you will make yourself and others miserable, and you won't grow.
Ray Dalio
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.
Ray Dalio
When growth is slower than expected, stocks go down. When inflation is higher than expected, bonds go down. When inflation's lower than expected, bonds go up.
Ray Dalio
I'd like to be clear that a number of people find me intolerable, and they don't hesitate to say so - which they and I cherish.
Ray Dalio
Look at what caused people to make a lot of money and you will see that usually it is in proportion to their production of what the society wanted.
Ray Dalio
If you can stare hard at your problems, they almost always shrink or disappear, because you almost always find a better way of dealing with them than if you don't face them head on. The more difficult the problem, the more important it is that you stare at it and deal with it.
Ray Dalio
Do not feel bad about your mistakes or those of others. Love them! Remember that one: they are to be expected two: they're the first and most essential part of the learning process and three: feeling bad about them will prevent you from getting better.
Ray Dalio
I notice a difference from the moment I meditate.
Ray Dalio
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.
Ray Dalio
