“First, what is a revolution? Sometimes I'm inclined to believe that many of our people are using this word "revolution" loosely, without taking careful consideration [of] what this word actually means, and what its historic characteristics are. When you study the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, and the result of a revolution, and the methods used in a revolution, you may change words. You may devise another program. You may change your goal and you may change your mind.” PeopleMindFirstsBelieveMayMeanSometimesUsedGoalResultsStudyRevolutionProgramMethodCarefulObjectivesMotiveCharacteristicsConsiderationHistoricChanging Your Mind Author:Malcolm X

“The art of investment has one characteristic that is not generally appreciated. A creditable, if unspectacular, result can be achieved by the lay investor with a minimum of effort and capability; but to improve this easily attainable standard requires much application and more than a trace of wisdom. If you merely try to bring just a little extra knowledge and cleverness to bear upon your investment program, instead of realizing a little better than normal results, you may well find that you have done worse.” IfsTryingWellsMayLittlesArtDoneRealizingResultsEffortBearsNormalStandardsProgramLaysInvestmentInvestingCharacteristicsExtrasApplicationInvestorsCapabilityMinimumAppreciatedCleverness Book:The Intelligent Investor, Rev.
