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.

More quotes by Ray Dalio
Ask yourself whether you have earned the right to have an opinion. Opinions are easy to produce, so bad ones abound. Knowing that you don't know something is nearly as valuable as knowing it. The worst situation is thinking you know something when you don't.
Ray Dalio
An economy is not a complicated thing it just has a lot of moving parts.
Ray Dalio
There are two main drivers of asset class returns - inflation and growth.
Ray Dalio
You'll see that excuses like That's not easy are of no value and that it pays to push through it at a pace you can handle. Like getting physically fit, the most important thing is that you keep moving forward at whatever pace you choose, recognizing the consequences of your actions.
Ray Dalio
The world is still in deleveraging.
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
The pain of problems is a call to find solutions rather than a reason for unhappiness and inaction, so it's silly, pointless, and harmful to be upset at the problems and choices that come at you (though it’s understandable).
Ray Dalio
I believe that the biggest problem that humanity faces is an ego sensitivity to finding out whether one is right or wrong and identifying what one's strengths and weaknesses are.
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
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
To make money in the markets, you have to think independently and be humble.
Ray Dalio
I believe that one of the best ways of getting at truth is reflecting with others who have opposing views and who share your interest in finding the truth rather than being proven right
Ray Dalio
Like the saying goes, don't believe everything you read.
Ray Dalio
To test if you are worrying too much about looking good, observe how you feel when you find out you've made a mistake or don't know something.
Ray Dalio
With the media, we don't know what's true, and we don't have radical transparency because we're seeing everything through somebody else's eyes. There's no other industry that has as much power and as much freedom and as little quality control. I can't imagine how anyone could not think that's a problem.
Ray Dalio
I don't get caught up in the moment.
Ray Dalio
I notice a difference from the moment I meditate.
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
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
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.
