“Fate knows all about you, it knows your fears and your weaknesses and your confidences and strengths, and it can be ready for all of them when it decides that the time is right. It can move you like a pawn in a terrible game of chess, sacrifice you for the good of others, drop you from a building you should never have been inside, give you a disease that no one has ever heard of. Luck and chance are impartial. Fate is active. It picks on people. Almost as if it thinks about things too much.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsGivingShouldHas BeensMovingGamesChanceToo MuchFateHeardSacrificeBuildingReadyTerribleDiseasePicksWeaknessLuckActiveChessChances ArePawnsConfidence And Strength Book:Face Source: Face

“People would be a lot more skeptical if they understood that there is an incredible amount of chance in the results that you observe for active managers.
