"I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up, and boy, does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you."
"The game of life is the game of everlasting learning. At least it is if you want to win."

"The big money is not in the buying and selling, but in the waiting."
"It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid instead of trying to be very intelligent."
"All I want to know is where I'm going to die, so I'll never go there."
“To get what you want, deserve what you want. Trust, success, and admiration are earned. It’s such a simple idea. It’s the golden rule, so to speak: You want to deliver to the world what you would buy if you were on the other end.”
