Fair enough? ____________________________ Think about it a little bit more and you'll agree with me, because you're smart and I'm right. --Charles Munger ___________________________ Atheists do look for answers to existence itself. They just don't make them up. --Teller ___________________________ Every day do something kind, something foolish and something brave. Life’s a hoot. Enjoy it. ___________________________ You will not be right simply because a large number people momentarily agree with you. You will not be right simply because important people agree with you.... You will be right over the course of many transactions, if your hypotheses are correct, your facts are correct, and your reasoning is correct... --Warren Buffett __________________________ Thank you for again demonstrating that inside every complex issue, there's a straightforward, simple explanation that's utterly wrong. ___________________________ Would you like me to give you a formula for...success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure... You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't...Expand for more
at all... You can be discouraged by failure--or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side. -- Thomas John Watson, Sr. (1874-1956), President of IBM ___________________________ Since I know nothing of your personal situation I'm extremely well qualified to tell you how to run your life. ___________________________ Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. ___________________________ I am done arguing with you. I will argue with a stupid person. I will argue with a dishonest person. But I will not argue with both. ___________________________ You continue to maintain that you are not dense even as you parade around consuming all light and matter in your orbits. ___________________________ (Jamie Lee Curtis to Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda) Wanda: To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I've known sheep who could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher IQs, but you think you're an intellectual, don't you, ape? Otto: Apes don't read philosophy. Wanda: Yes they do, Otto, they just don't understand it! ___________________________ Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man . . . living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money. --George Carlin ___________________________ If you mix raisins with turds, you have turds. --Charles Munger".
