When excesses such as lax lending standards become widespread and persist for some time, people are lulled into a false sense of security, creating an even more dangerous situation. In some cases, excesses migrate beyond regional or national borders, raising the ante for investors and governments. These excesses will eventually end, triggering a crisis at least in proportion to the degree of the excesses. Correlations between asset classes may be surprisingly high when leverage rapidly unwinds.

Seth Klarman

If a man says that it is right to give every one his due, and therefore thinks within his own mind that injury is due from a just man to his enemies but kindness to his friends, he was not wise who said so, for he spoke not the truth, for in no case has it appeared to be just to injure any one.

Plato

All great empires die from within.

Terry Bradshaw

Remember all those who suffer from their own downfall, after having believed themselves to be winners, and who now weep for the many lost hours. So while you still have time, seek to enrich your own spirits for the tomorrow which awaits you because, in accordance with the teachings of the Lord, it is of no use to retain the outward appearance of the splendor of all the empires of this world, if you maintain darkness within your heart.

Chico Xavier

It is my hope that the pagan media and academic establishment will implode on the force of its own corruption and stagnation.

Samuel Bowers

Empires are not brought down by outside forces, they are destroyed by weaknesses from within.

Lionel

Us as a people, we can't do it on our own. We have to understand that we're not each other's enemy. We have to stop discriminating against each other due to class and due to race and due to location or financial position.

Kanye West

Empires won by conquest have always fallen either by revolt within or by defeat by a rival.

John Boyd Orr

Bubbles are best identified by credit excesses, not valuation excesses. And there's no bigger credit excess than in China.

James Chanos

When I write software, I know that it will fail, either due to my own mistake, or due to some other cause.

Wietse Venema

To protest in the name of morality against 'excesses' or 'abuses' is an error which hints on active complicity. There are no 'abuses' or 'excesses' here, simpily an all-pervasive system.

Simone de Beauvoir

The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.

Winston Churchill

We have got to nurture the spirit of independent journalism in this country, or we'll not save capitalism from its own excesses, and we'll not save democracy from its own inertia.

Bill Moyers

If you have a lot of short-term debt, it means that all of that money can be demanded in a very short period of time. Technically, short-term debt means money that's coming due within a year. Typically, it means money that's coming due within 30 to 90 days.

Jeffrey Sachs

We reform the system. We save capitalism from its own excesses.

Robert Reich

I've been around long enough to know that empires come and empires go, and I can't tell how long the Google empire is going to last - but I'm pretty convinced that the answer is less than forever.
