You have to understand your own psychology. You have to understand that human beings weren't really designed to invest. We have all these emotions that are appropriate responses if you're being chased by a tiger, but they're terrible responses if you've got a 30-year time horizon to think about investment or when you're trying to manage investment over 30 years.

William J. Bernstein

Remember, if you do the same act for 20, 30 years it gets a little boring unless you've got something else going for you... And the orchestra really kept you going. They'd laugh at all your jokes, even if they'd been hearing them for the last 30 years.

If you listen to Hillary 30 years ago and Hillary today, she's still complaining about the same things. She's still promising to fix the same things.

In 30 years, she hasn't made anything better.

Rush Limbaugh

Just figuring it out for 30 years - 30 years... I think I'm ready now to expand - to grow.
