Quotes or positive saying that either helped you or describe you
Hi all
I feel quotes are great ways to summarize a feeling or mood and even motivate certain behaviors. This morning I read a quote and it was perfect for me and my investing. " if your rich you just buy it, if not you use a different wealth- your character and determination "
Please share any quotes that keep you motivated or just help remind you to keep on chugging

I keep these quotes up next to my computer. The first one from Howard Marks in particular reminds me to stay grounded when looking at potential deals.
"The key to financial security - individual or societal - doesn't lie in counting on things to work in good times or on average. Rather, it consists of figuring out what can go wrong in bad times, and of only doing things that will prove survivable even if they materialize" - Howard Marks
"20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
"Amongst the greatest amount of chaos, comes the greatest amount of opportunity" - Seth Klarman
“Identify Opportunity. Create Value.” - World Class Capital
"What we learn from history is that people don't learn from history" - Warren Buffett
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness" - Mark Twain
