It needs courage to be afraid.
Change is the end result of all true learning.

To invest successfully, you need not understand beta, efficient markets, modern portfolio theory, option pricing or emerging markets. You may, in fact, be better off knowing nothing of these.

In our view, though, investment students need only two well-taught courses - How to Value a Business, and How to Think About Market Prices.

Hell is having to execute a pointless act from which nothing ever comes except the need to do it again.
Our poetry now is the realization that we possess nothing. Anything therefore is a delight (since we do not posses it) and thus need not fear its loss.
Mankind needs peace more than ever, for our entire planet, threatened by nuclear war, is in danger of total destruction. A destruction only man can provoke, only man can prevent.
What is the revolution that we need? We need to dissolve the lie that some people have a right to think of other people as their property.

When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain.

I don't need words. It's all in the phrasing.
