The dominance of short-term perspectives has led to routine decisions in the markets that sacrifice the long-term buildup of genuine value in pursuit of artificial, short-term gains.
I've been in this business a long time, and I'm very clear on what is real and what is fleeting.
Truly I say to you, a single number has more genuine and permanent value than an expensive library full of hypotheses.
As I got older, I realized that my life experience, what I really had, was always going to be more valuable than what I pretended to have.
When you've got something really good, you don't have to force it on people. They will steal it!
I think that in the end, the people are not fooled by promotion. They want to know that something works and is right.
That man, we may be sure, is a person of true worth, whom those who envy him most are yet forced to praise.
Definite gifts render their possessors capable of overcoming any obstacle this side of death; they create an impetus of far more genuine value than external advantages in some other career where the impulse to make use of them remains weak or non-existent. The work that one enjoys is the greatest source of happiness and vitality in life.
There are many sham diamonds in this life which pass for real, and vice versa.
