"In business, timing is everything."

We don’t try to predict the future. We try to buy things that are cheap.

The modern world has turned us into consumers, and consumption is the new religion.

译文：假如你命中富贵荣华，也要常常有不得意的想法；假如你碰到境遇顺利，也要常常有不如意的念头；假如眼前的你吃穿丰足，也要保持节俭不忘贫困；假如别人都很喜欢你，也要常常怀着谨慎的想法；假如你家世名望都很高，也要常怀着谦虚卑下之心；假如你的学问非常高深，也要提醒自己掌握的还不够多。

每一种真理都需要经过三个阶段：首先被嘲笑，然后被激烈反对，最后被视为自明之理。
