Warren Buffett
American - Businessman
Born: August 30, 1930

The line separating investment and speculation, which is never bright and clear, becomes blurred still further when most market participants have recently enjoyed triumphs. Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money. After a heady experience of that kind, normally sensible people drift into behavior akin to that of Cinderella at the ball.

Warren Buffett

Talk was like the vitamins of our friendship: Large daily doses kept it healthy.

E. L. Konigsburg

Avoiding depression with large daily doses of television.

Paulo Coelho

Rationality is not just something you do so that you can make more money, it is a binding principle. Rationality is a really good idea. You must avoid the nonsense that is conventional in one's own time. It requires developing systems of thought that improve your batting average over time.

Charlie Munger

Everything in large doses is gonna kill you. Even happiness.

Sandra Bullock

Only grace-large doses, frequently displayed, released-will restore the wounded.

Charles R. Swindoll

Barring love I'll take my life in large doses alone--rivers, forests, fish, grouse, mountains. Dogs.

Jim Harrison

Money in doses disproportionate to our needs enslaves.

Gerry Spence

You Europeans know nothing about America. Because we amass large fortunes you think we care for nothing but money. We are nothing for it; the moment we have it we spend it, sometimes well, sometimes ill, but we spend it. Money is nothing to us; it's merely the symbol of success. We are the greatest idealists in the world; I happen to think that we've set our ideal on the wrong objects; I happen to think that the greatest ideal man can set before himself is self-perfection.

W. Somerset Maugham

We control the world basically because we are the only animals that can cooperate flexibly in very large numbers. And if you examine any large-scale human cooperation, you will always find that it is based on some fiction like the nation, like money, like human rights.

Yuval Noah Harari

Rationality is the recognition of the fact that nothing can alter the truth and nothing can take precedence over that act of perceiving it.

Ayn Rand

We were trying to make our lives easier, trying, with all our rules, to make life effortless. But a friction began to arise between Nothing and Something, in the morning the Nothing vase cast a Something shadow, like the memory of someone you've lost, what can you say about that, at night the Nothing light spilled from the guest room spilled under the Nothing door and stained the Something hallway, there's nothing to say.

Jonathan Safran Foer

Cooking is not effortless. To get a recipe that feels effortless is really hard.

Claire Saffitz

Talk about rationality can get very confusing unless the things with which rationality deals are also included.

Robert M. Pirsig

I love Marilyn Monroe, Jimi Hendrix, and Kurt Cobain. I really do. It doesn't matter what style they had - whether it was pin-up or whatever - it just worked for them, and it looked effortless even though it was fabulous. I like anything that just looks effortless.

Behati Prinsloo

The end point of rationality is to demonstrate the limits of rationality.

Blaise Pascal
