To a value investor, investments come in three varieties: undervalued at one price, fairly valued at another price, and overvalued at still some higher price. The goal is to buy the first, avoid the second, and sell the third.

Seth Klarman

Me, I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for.

Johnny Depp

One always pulls the trigger out of self-interest and quotes history to avoid responsibility or pangs of conscience.

Joseph Brodsky

As we think of power in the 21st century, we want to get away from the idea that power's always zero sum - my gain is your loss and vice versa. Power can also be positive sum, where your gain can be my gain.

Joseph Nye

O faithless coward! O dishonest wretch! Wilt thou be made a man out of my vice?

William Shakespeare

The determination of the value of an item must not be based on its price, but rather on the utility it yields. The price of the item is dependent only on the thing itself and is equal for everyone; the utility, however, is dependent on the particular circumstances of the person making the estimate. Thus there is no doubt that a gain of one thousand ducats is more significant to a pauper than to a rich man though both gain the same amount.

Daniel Bernoulli

Prefer a loss to a dishonest gain; the one brings pain at the moment, the other for all time.

Chilon

Grief is the price we pay for being close to one another. If we want to avoid our grief, we simply avoid each other.

Ivan Goncharov

God grant to all of us the power and strength to be people of integrity, and the insight and wisdom to avoid being led into the snares of the dishonest.

My only aversion to vice, is the price.

Victor Buono

For though Death be a dark passage, it leads to immortality, and that is recompence enough for suffering of it.

William Penn

There are men so incorrigibly lazy that no inducement that you can offer will tempt them to work; so eaten up by vice that virtue is abhorrent to them, and so inveterably dishonest that theft is to them a master passion.

William Booth

We gain freedom when we have paid the full price.
