I use this post to keep quotes I find interesting across the internet and books I read.

“The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.” - Warren Buffett

“Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren’t very new after all.” ― Abraham Lincoln Appreciation to Goodreads for helping me find this quote

I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a luxuriant native tree, but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found. ~ Psalm 37:35-36

The only man who behaved sensibly was my tailor: he took my measure anew every time he saw me, whilst all the rest went on with their old measurements and expected them to fit me. -George Bernard Shaw

“A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to save them from starving. They all have food in their own homes. When we gather together in the moonlit village ground it is not because of the moon. Every man can see it in his own compound. We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so.”

― Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart

“When you meet a master swordsman, show him your sword. When you meet a man who is not a poet, do not show him your poem.

― Lin-Chi

Robert Greene rephrase: When you meet a swordsman, draw your sword. Do not recite poetry to one who is not a poet.”

Not all treasure is Silver and Gold mate ~ Captain Jack Sparrow

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown”. And he replied: “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way”.

~ Minnie Louise Haskins (From poem The gate of the year)
