Introduction:
Investing is serious business. But it has its moments – chaos and terror, reward and sublimity – sometimes all within the space of twenty-four hours. Most things are not as good or as bad – and certainly not as permanent – as they seem at the moment. James Thurber said: “Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility.” Time and tranquility have a way of reorienting the moment. Sometimes our worst experience becomes our most cherished, because it is so hilarious in the retelling.
Our companion volume, The Ultimate Investor: The People and Ideas that Make Modern Investment, is a serious work. But there is more than one side to every equation and every story. With The Ultimate Book of Investment Quotations, we look at this serious business from the other sides … the reflective, the philosophical and the flip. In the age of sound bytes, quotes take on new importance. The phrase, “I wish I said that,” captures significant meaning and often humor in just a few words. And the words become memorable by being passed on from one to another.
We hope these quotes about investment and finance become memorable to you and are useful in provoking new thoughts, providing content for conversation and speeches, as well as just casual, fun skimming. They have been collected from many sources, some literary, some friends and some personal. By bringing them together for you, we hope to enhance your reading as they have ours. They are arranged in the same order as the chapters of The Ultimate Investor, so that readers may use both volumes together.
