We are shaping the world faster than we can change ourselves, and we are applying to the present the habits of the past.

The malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous.
Winston Churchill
Image
The is always much to be said for not attempting more than you can do and for making a certainty of what you try. But this principle, like others in life and war, has it exceptions.
Winston Churchill

I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form.

In finance everything that is agreeable is unsound and everything that is sound is disagreeable.

For the first 25 years of my life, I wanted freedom. For the next 25 years, I wanted order. For the next 25 years, I realized that order is freedom.
