A Quote by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

I always remind myself that what one observes is at best a combination of variance and returns, not just returns.

Mitt Romney was treated very unfairly. Mitt Romney didn't want to give his tax returns, because people don't understand returns that are complicated, and complex. And he didn't give it. He fought it, fought it, fought it, all the way into September. A month before the election, he gave his tax returns. And they picked out two items that were absolutely perfect. He did nothing wrong. And his returns are very much smaller than my returns.

Donald Trump

The returns from investing in poor people are just as great as the returns from investing in the business world... and have even more meaning

Bill Gates

...the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Moses

I ran back punt returns and kickoff returns, and I played a pretty good game.

Gale Sayers

Hard work leads to low returns. Insight and doing what we want lead to high returns.

Richard Koch

You may have heard that Donald Trum has long refused to release his tax returns, the way every other nominee for president has done for decades. You can look at 40 years of my tax returns. I think we need a law that says, if you become the nominee of the major parties, you have to release your tax returns.

Hillary Clinton

Whatever is newly expensive has two attributes: wonderful past returns and, in most cases, lousy future returns.

Robert D. Arnott

Now Spring returns; but not to me returns.

Michael Bruce

Morality, like other inputs into the social process, follows the law of diminishing returns- meaning ultimately, negative returns. People can be too moral.

Thomas Sowell

It's hard to find ideas that aren't picked over and harder to get real returns and differentiate yourself. We are entering a new environment. The days of big returns are gone.

Steven A. Cohen

Trump's tax returns - his tax returns showed he went through a very difficult time, but he used the tax code just the way it's supposed to be used. And he did it brilliantly.

Mike Pence

You will not see, in my career, the kind of returns this industry had in 2005 and 2006 for a very simple reason - the banks were undercapitalized, and returns are a function of earnings and capital.

James P. Gorman

We want your pre-field income tax returns to reach to you and we are working on it. We are also working to simplify GST returns.

Anurag Thakur

All small returns are noise. To transcend the noise and the risk, seek outsized returns from technological paradigms.

George Gilder

There's a Russia angle to all this, because remember, we don't have Donald Trump's tax returns. He did a very - relative summary, 104 page campaign financial disclosure. One year of tax returns, reportedly - we've seen the pictures, 12,000 pages. And tax returns are replete with his foreign interests, including, perhaps, his Russian interests. That may be the reason he doesn't want to turn over his taxes.

Norman L. Eisen

Investors should always keep in mind that the most important metric is not the returns achieved but the returns weighed against the risks incurred. Ultimately, nothing should be more important to investors than the ability to sleep soundly at night.
