To achieve satisfactory investment results is easier than most people realize; to achieve superior results is harder than it looks.

» Benjamin Graham - all quotes »
We must set the end in view as the goal; and then, instead of making a fetish of some particular kind of means, we should adopt whatever honorable means will best accomplish the end. In so far as unrestricted individual liberty brings the best results, we should encourage it. But when a point is reached where this complete lack of restriction on individual liberty fails to achieve the best results, then, on behalf of the whole people, we should exercise the collective power of the people, through the State Legislatures in matters of purely local concern, and through the National Legislature when the purpose is so big that only National action can achieve it.
Theodore Roosevelt
While it will be desirable to achieve planned results, it will be even more important to avoid unplanned disasters.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Strong as it looks at the outset, State-agency perpetually disappoints every one. Puny as are its first stages, private efforts daily achieve results that astound the world.
Herbert Spencer
This program fuses magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship. I achieve all the results you’ll see here through a varied mixture of those techniques. At no point are actors or stooges used in the show.
Derren Brown
Research! Research! A mere excuse for idleness; it has never achieved, and will never achieve any results of the slightest value.
