If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can keep your wits about you while all others are losing theirs, and blaming you. The world will be yours and everything in it, what's more, you'll be a man, my son.
Rudyard Kipling

How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts? - Richard Allen
I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful. - Warren Buffett
Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well. - Buffett

Well, given the number of falling knives I seem to be catching lately, what comes to mind is
Dylan Thomas
 Quote:
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
|
or Rudyard Kipling
Quote:
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Quote:
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
 Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
|
Let's hope the survivors that weather the market come out ahead.

I have a friend that can confirm this; back in our wilder days a guy passed out in her bed (after she was asleep) and urinated in his drunken stupor. She woke up pissed on and pissed off.

I guess we all have our wilder days to look back on. An old girlfriend told me that I slept on the coach with her one time and in the middle of the night (I had a few too many) I stood up and urinated on her coffee table, zipped up, and went back to sleep. She was nice enough to clean it up. The next morning I didn't remember a thing.
If I were to do that today, DW would slap me silly.
