“I
was at the end of my tether when my first book was published.
For eight years I didn't make a penny, I worked so hard,
didn't drink, didn't enjoy life.” -- Orhan Pamuk
“In this business if you're good, you're right six times out
of ten. You're never going to be right nine times out of ten.”
-- Peter Lynch
“The rich get richer. Not only because they have surpluses
with which to invest, but because of the overriding emotional
release they experience from having wealth.” -- Stuart Wilde
“I would tell young people to start where they are with what
they have and that the secret of a big success is starting
with a small success and dreaming bigger and bigger dreams, I
would tell them also that a young Black woman or a young Black
man can't dream too much today or dare too much if he or she
works hard, perseveres and dedicates themselves to
excellence.” -- John H. Johnson
“As long as you enjoy investing, you'll be willing to do the
homework and stay in the game. That's why I try to make the
show so entertaining, because if you aren't interested, you'll
either miss the opportunity to make money in the market or not
pay enough attention and end up losing your shirt.” -- Jim
Cramer
“Nothing of great value in this life comes easily. The things
of highest value sometimes come hard. The gold that has the
greatest value lies deepest in the earth, as do the diamonds.”
-- Norman Vincent Peale
“I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest
fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he
has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on
the field of battle-victorious.” -- Vince Lombardi
“The individual investor should act consistently as an
investor and not as a speculator. This means.. that he should
be able to justify every purchase he makes and each price he
pays by impersonal, objective reasoning that satisfies him
that he is getting more than his money's worth for his
purchase.” -- Benjamin Graham
“Your ability to negotiate, communicate, influence, and
persuade others to do things is absolutely indispensable to
everything you accomplish in life. The most effective men and
women in every area are those who can quite competently
organize the cooperation and assistance of other people toward
the accomplishment of important goals and objectives.” --
Brian Tracy
“Many of the biggest and most far-reaching investments we make
in our lives are investments that have little or nothing to do
with money.” -- Daniel Quinn
“Nobody can give you advice after you've been collecting for a
while. If you don't enjoy making your own decisions, you're
never going to be much of a collector anyway.” -- Charles
Saatchi
“Well, real estate is always good, as far as I'm concerned.”
-- Donald Trump
“Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to
negotiate.” -- John F. Kennedy
“Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things
happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have
imagined.” -- Deepak Chopra
