The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.

It were not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that makes horse races.

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

A market is never saturated with a good product, but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.

Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.
