History has not dealt kindly with the aftermath of protracte

Summary

This quote suggests that throughout history, when there have been extended periods of low risk premiums (the excess return on risky investments compared to risk-free investments), the consequences have been unfavorable. It implies that when investors become too complacent and assume low levels of risk, there is often a price to pay in the future. This may refer to economic recessions, market crashes, or financial crises that tend to occur after prolonged periods of suppressed risk premiums. The quote highlights the importance of maintaining a cautious approach and considering the potential ramifications of low-risk premiums in order to prevent detrimental outcomes.

I do not think that the real reason why people accept religion has anything to do with argumentation. They accept religion on emotional grounds. One is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it.

Not everybody is created equal, and it's important for companies to identify those high potentials and treat them differently, accelerate their development and pay them more. That process is so incredibly important to developing first-class leadership in a company.

They laid their hands upon my head, They stroked my cheek and brow; And time could heal a hurt, they said, And time could dim a vow. And they were pitiful and mild Who whispered to me then; The heart that breaks in April, child; Will mend in May again. Oh, many a mended heart they knew; So old they were, and wise. And little did they have to do To come to me with lies! Who flings me silly talk of May Shall meet a bitter soul; For June was nearly spent away Before my heart was whole.

Dorothy Parker, The False Friend

Let the tears which fell, and the broken words which were exchanged in the long close embrace between the orphans, be sacred. A father, sister, and mother, were gained, and lost, in that one moment. Joy and grief were mingled in the cup; but there were no bitter tears: for even grief arose so softened, and clothed in such sweet and tender recollections, that it became a solemn pleasure, and lost all character of pain.

Charles Dickens
