“The market has a simple way of whittling all excessive pride and overblown egos down to size. After all, the whole idea is to be completely objective and recognize what the marketplace is telling you, rather than try to prove that the thing you said or did yesterday or six weeks ago was right. The fastest way to take a bath in the stock market or go broke is to try to prove that you are right and the market is wrong.” WayTryingSaidIdeasWholeSimpleWeekPrideProveEgoSixSizeYesterdayObjectivesBrokeBathsMarketplaceSimple WaysWhittlingExcessive Pride Author:William O'Neil
“I was always restless, always a roving spirit. When I was a little child I was always running away. I never got very far, but they were always having to come and fetch me. Once when I was about six, my father came to get me somewhere I'd gone, and he told me later he'd asked me, "Why are you so restless? Why can't you stay here with us?" and I said to him, "I want to go and see the world. I want to know the world like the palm of my hand.” KnowsWorldWantChildrenLittlesSaidHandsRunningSpiritFatherGoneSixRunning AwayPalmsRestlessFetchRovingAlways Running Author:Katherine Anne Porter

“It would be a sign of great simplicity to think that the world was created in six days, or indeed at all in time; [...] Time is a thing posterior to the world. Therefore it would be correctly said that the world was not created in time, but that time had its existence in consequence of the world. For it is the motion of the heaven that has displayed the nature of time.” ThinkingWorldSaidWould BeHeavenExistenceSixConsequenceSimplicity Author:Philo
“The Saviour said He was going to prepare us a place. How wonderful it will be is beyond human computation. Remember that in six days Christ made the heavens and earth and all that in them is....
