“I've learned mainly by reading myself. So I don't think I have any original ideas. Certainly, I talk about reading Graham. I've read Phil Fisher. So I've gotten a lot of my ideas from reading. You can learn a lot from other people. In fact, I think if you learn basically from other people, you don't have to get too many new ideas on your own. You can just apply the best of what you see.”

“Not-knowing is true knowledge.Presuming to know is a disease.First realize that you are sick;then you can move toward health.”

“The end of being is to know; and if you say, the end of knowledge is action,-why, yes, but the end of that action again, is knowledge.”

“It is the duty of every citizen according to his best capacities to give validity to his convictions in political affairs.”

“Dont count the things you do, do the things that count.”

“There is plenty of courage among us for the abstract, but not for the concrete.”
