There is another point that I think is as important: You should expect the unexpected in this business; expect the extreme. Don’t think in terms of boundaries that limit what the market might do. If there is any lesson I have learned in the nearly twenty years that I’ve been in this business, it is that the unexpected and the impossible happen every now and then

Richard Dennis

Frightening media messages...pervade the news business, which really ought to be called "the bad news business" for its preoccupation with disaster and destruction. In broadcast journalism, killing is almost always covered, while kindness is almost always ignored. The more alarming a news item is, the more attention it receives.

Michael Medved

I'm confused about who the news belongs to. I always have it in my head that if your name's in the news, then the news should be paying you. Because it's your news and they're taking it and selling it as their product. ...If people didn't give the news their news, and if everybody kept their news to themselves, the news wouldn't have any news.

Andy Warhol

Expect the unexpected, my mother once said. Because the unexpected most certainly will be expecting you.

Marjorie M. Liu

I always say expect the unexpected!

Julie Chen

I always expect unexpected challenges.

Sugar Ray Leonard

I'm not in the news business and won't tell people how to do their job. I'd like to restore trust in the news business, though, and feel that restoring fact-checking will really help. News business realities mean that such fact-checking has to be practical, it has to be fast and cheap.

Craig Newmark

No matter what, expect the unexpected. And whenever possible BE the unexpected.

Lynda Barry

Always expect the unexpected. The oil and gas industry is terrible at predicting anything. Always have a back-up plan.

David Dixon

Expect everything, I always say, and the unexpected never happens.

Norton Juster

I always expect unexpected challenges. Boxing is not an easy sport.

Sugar Ray Leonard

I always wanted to be a comedian, even when I was a little kid. I had a funny father who was in the news business, by the way. He was a radio news guy. So the news was always in my house, and funny was always in my house. It was sort of just baked into the DNA that I would do this for a living, but I can remember being less than 10 years old and dreaming about being a comedian.

Bill Maher

A good investor in this new world knows to always expect the unexpected.

Jim Cramer

The investment business has taught me – increasingly as the years have passed – that people, especially investors (and, I believe, Americans), prefer good news and wishful thinking to bad news; and that there are always vested interests to offer facile, optimistic alternatives to the bad news.

Jeremy Grantham

You've got to expect things are going to go wrong. And we always need to prepare ourselves for handling the unexpected.

Neil Armstrong

The phone's never far away. The TV's always on. We are constantly on the news cycle; either watching the news, making the news, talking about the news.
