“Where the very safety of the country depends upon the resolution to be taken, no consideration of justice or injustice, humanity or cruelty, nor of glory or of shame, should be allowed to prevail.

“In a free Government, the security for civil rights must be the same as that for religious rights. It consists in the one case in the multiplicity of interests, and in the other in the multiplicity of sects. The degree of security in both cases, will depend on the number of interests and sects; and this may be presumed to depend on the extent of country and number of People comprehended under the same Government.” PeopleMayCountryGovernmentInterestReligiousNumbersCasesRightsSecurityDependsDegreesCivil RightsSectsMultiplicityFree GovernmentReligious Rights Book:The Federalist Source: The Federalist

“In the financial markets, however, the connection between a marketable security and the underlying business is not as clear-cut. For investors in a marketable security the gain or loss associated with the various outcomes is not totally inherent in the underlying business; it also depends on the price paid, which is established by the marketplace. The view that risk is dependent on both the nature of investments and on their market price is very different from that described by beta.” DifferentLossViewsClearCuttingRiskSecurityDependsGainsConnectionsPaidInvestmentInvestingFinancialVariousOutcomesDependentInvestorsInherentMarketplaceFinancial MarketsBeta Author:Seth Klarman

“The greatest danger to an adequate old-age security plan is rising prices. A rise of 2% a year in prices would cut the purchasing power of pensions about 45% in 30 years. The greatest danger of rising prices is from wages rising faster than output per man-hour....
