3- You do things when the opportunities come along. I’ve had periods in my life when I’ve had a bundle of Ideas come along, and I’ve had long dry spells. If I get an Idea next week, I’ll do something. If won’t do a damn thing.
4- It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than you yours and you’ll drift in that direction.
5- I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the nest day and not reopen it for five years.

20- I don’t look to jump over 7- foot bars; I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.
21- Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it.
22- In the business world, the rear-view mirror is always clearer than the windshield.
23- The business schools reward difficult complex behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.
24- A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought.
