❖ The best thing a human being can do is to help another human being know more.
❖ Develop into a lifelong self-learner through voracious reading; cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser every day. Discharge your duties faithfully and well.
❖ The game of life is the game of everlasting learning. At least if you want to win.
❖ The big money is not in the buying and selling, but in the waiting.
❖ Invert, always invert: Turn a situation or problem upside down. Look at it backwards.
❖ Acknowledging what you don’t know is the dawning of wisdom.
