There is nothing new in Wall Street. There can't be because speculation is as old as the hills.

The market does not beat them. They beat themselves, because though they have brains they cannot sit tight.

A man must believe in himself and his judgment if he expects to make a living at this game.

The desire for constant action irrespective of underlying conditions is responsible for many losses in Wall Street.

I know from experience that nobody can give me a tip or a series of tips that will make more money for me than my own judgment.

Endure and renounce.
