It is great happiness to be praised of them who are most praiseworthy.

Michael Parenti

Life is too short to worry about anything. You had better enjoy it because the next day promises nothing.

Eric Davis

War puts its questions stupidly, peace mysteriously.

Andre Malraux

I try to buy stock in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them. Because sooner or later, one will.

Warren Buffett
