June 24, 1842 - 1914

They are born, put in a box; they go home to live in a box; they study by ticking boxes; they go to what is called "work" in a box, where they sit in their cubicle box; they drive to the grocery store in a box to buy food in a box; they talk about thinking "outside the box"; and when they die they are put in a box.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. Virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

George Bernard Shaw

RECOUNT, n. In American politics, another throw of the dice, accorded to the player against whom they are loaded.

Ambrose Bierce

Investing is a probabilistic business. Every once in a while, it's sort of like you're throwing six-sided dice, and anything except a one or a two, you're doing well. Statistically speaking, you throw the dice enough times, you're going to throw a one or a two five times in a row, and you're going to look pretty foolish, right?

Whitney Tilson

The world is the house of the strong. I shall not know until the end what I have lost or won in this place, in this vast gambling den where I have spent more than sixty years, dice box in hand, shaking the dice.

Denis Diderot

The life of man is like a game with dice; if you don't get the throw you want, you must show your skill in making the best of the throw you get.

Terence

The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all other woes of mankind, is wisdom. Teach a man to read and write, and you have put into his hands the great keys of the wisdom box. But it is quite another thing to open the box.

Thomas Huxley

All thoughts emit a throw of dice

Stephane Mallarme

God Almighty does not throw dice.

Albert Einstein

One who doesn't throw the dice can never expect to score a six.

Navjot Singh Sidhu

Who then may trust the dice, at Fortune's throw?

Geoffrey Chaucer

The God of Battles will throw the dice that decide.

A. J. P. Taylor

A throw of the dice will never abolish chance.

Stephane Mallarme

If you roll dice, you know that the odds are one in six that the dice will come up on a particular side. So you can calculate the risk. But, in the stock market, such computations are bull - you don't even know how many sides the dice have!

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

If you look at the end of a roll of toilet paper, like the brown paper tube, I basically worked in a factory that made humongous ones like that - for concrete or anything you wanted to put in there. I was the guy who chopped those up into smaller pieces, put them in a box, throw it in a pallet, wrap it up, jump in a forklift and put it on a truck.
