"The best investment is in the tools..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.”

“Security without liberty is called prison.”

“He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.”

“The financial calculus that Charlie and I employ would never permit our trading a good night's sleep for a shot at a few extra percentage points of return. I've never believed in risking what my friends and family have and need in order to pursue what they don't have and don't need.”

“Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in.”

“In a bull market, one must avoid the error of the preening duck that quacks boastfully after a torrential rainstorm, thinking that its paddling skills have caused it to rise in the world. A right-thinking duck would instead compare its position after the downpour to that of the other ducks on the pond.”

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

“This mad rush for wealth must cease and the labourer must be assured not only of a living wage but, also a daily task that is not mere drudgery.”

“Love and work are the only two real things in our lives. They belong together, otherwise it is off. Work is in itself a form of love.”
