It’s an extremely good thing that money sometimes changes hands.<\/span>
\n Carl William Brown<\/span><\/p>\n

One mustn’t allow acting to be like stockbroker, you must not take it just as a means of earning a living, to go down every day to do a job of work. The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement.<\/span>
\n John Gielgud<\/span><\/p>\n

Between eighteen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.<\/span>
\n Andre Malraux<\/span><\/p>\n

A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him, ”At my age, I don’t even buy green bananas.<\/span>
\n Claude D. Pepper<\/span><\/p>\n

Back then, if you had a sore arm, the only people concerned were you and your wife. Now it’s you, your wife, your agent, your investment counselor, your stockbroker, and your publisher.<\/span>
\n Jim Bouton<\/span><\/p>\n

If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.<\/span>
\n Warren Buffett<\/span><\/p>\n

It is very vulgar to talk about one’s business. Only people like stockbrokers do that, and then merely at dinner parties.<\/span>
\n Oscar Wilde<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel an earnest and humble desire, and shall till I die, to increase the stock of harmless cheerfulness.<\/span>
\n Charles Dickens<\/span><\/p>\n

The most valuable things in life are not measured in monetary terms. The really important things are not houses and lands, stocks and bonds, automobiles and real state, but friendships, trust, confidence, empathy, mercy, love and faith.<\/span>
\n Bertrand Russell<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine spending four billion years stocking the oceans with seafood, filling the ground with fossil fuels, and drilling the bees in honey production — only to produce a race of bed-wetters!<\/span>
\n Barbara Ehrenreich<\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on. The small landowners are the most precious part of a state.<\/span>
\n Thomas Jefferson<\/span><\/p>\n

You need to have enough immediate profits that you can finance the long-range growth without diluting the stock.<\/span>
\n Paul Cook<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up. If it don’t go up, don’t buy it.<\/span>
\n Will Rogers<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it not odd that the only generous person I ever knew, who had money to be generous with, should be a stockbroker.<\/span>
\n Percy Bysshe Shelley<\/span><\/p>\n

You cannot do a goal. Long-term planning and goal-setting must therefore be complemented by short-term planning. This kind of planning requires specifying activities. You can do an activity. Activities are steps along the way to a goal. Let’s say you desire security. Putting $10.00 in the bank or talking to your stockbroker about your investment plans are activities that will move you toward your goal.<\/span>
\n Alan Lakein<\/span><\/p>\n

Give me a stock clerk with a goal and I’ll give you a man who will make history. Give me a man with no goals and I’ll give you a stock clerk.<\/span>
\n J. C. James Cash) Penney (1875-1971, American Retailer, Philanthropist, Founder JC Penny’s<\/span><\/p>\n

Physically there is nothing to distinguish human society from the farm-yard except that children are more troublesome and costly than chickens and calves and that men and women are not so completely enslaved as farm stock.<\/span>
\n George Bernard Shaw<\/span><\/p>\n

When you see a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window, you may depend on it, that he keeps a very small stock of it within.<\/span>
\n Charles Haddon Spurgeon<\/span><\/p>\n

Gambling with cards or dice or stocks is all one thing. It’s getting money without giving an equivalent for it.<\/span>
\n Henry Ward Beecher<\/span><\/p>\n

With an evening coat and a white tie, anybody, even a stock broker, can gain a reputation for being civilized.<\/span>
\n Oscar Wilde<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no such thing as ”the Queen’s English.” The property has gone into the hands of a joint stock company and we own the bulk of the shares!<\/span>
\n Mark Twain<\/span><\/p>\n

Leadership in today’s world requires far more than a large stock of gunboats and a hard fist at the conference table.<\/span>
\n Hubert H. Humphrey<\/span><\/p>\n

A man should keep his little brain attic stocked with all the furniture that he is likely to use, and the rest he can put away in the lumber room of his library, where he can get it if he wants it.<\/span>
\n Sir Arthur Conan Doyle<\/span><\/p>\n

There exists, between people in love, a kind of capital held by each. This is not just a stock of affects or pleasure, but also the possibility of playing double or quits with the share you hold in the other’s heart.<\/span>
\n Jean Baudrillard<\/span><\/p>\n

Marrying to increase love is like gaming to become rich; alas, you only lose what little stock you had before.<\/span>
\n William Wycherley<\/span><\/p>\n

A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men.<\/span>
\n Sidonie Gabrielle Colette<\/span><\/p>\n

I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.<\/span>
\n Sir Arthur Conan Doyle<\/span><\/p>\n

I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.<\/span>
\n Warren Buffett<\/span><\/p>\n

We Americans have the chance to become someday a nation in which all radical stocks and classes can exist in their own selfhoods, but meet on a basis of respect and equality and live together, socially, economically, and politically. We can become a dynamic equilibrium, a harmony of many different elements, in which the whole will be greater than all its parts and greater than any society the world has seen before. It can still happen.<\/span>
\n Shirley Chisholm<\/span><\/p>\n

Great investment opportunities come around when excellent companies are surrounded by unusual circumstances that cause the stock to be misappraised.<\/span>
\n Warren Buffett<\/span><\/p>\n

One cannot expect to coast along and rise automatically to the top, no matter what friends you may have in the company. There may have been a time when, in large corporations, a person could rise simply because he had a stock interest or because he had friends in top management. That’s not true today. Success in business requires training and discipline and hard work. But if you’re not frightened by these things, the opportunities are just as great today as they ever were.<\/span>
\n David Rockerfeller<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no shadow of protection to be had by sheltering behind the slender stockades of visionary speculation, or by hiding behind the wagon-wheels of pacific theories.<\/span>
\n Madame Chiang Kai-Shek<\/span><\/p>\n

The pornography of violence of course far exceeds, in volume and general acceptance, sexual pornography, in this Puritan land of ours. Exploiting the apocalypse, selling the holocaust, is a pornography. For the ultimate selling job on ultimate violence one must read those works of fiction issued by our government as manuals of civil defense, in which you learn that there’s nothing to be afraid of if you’ve stockpiled lots of dried fruit.<\/span>
\n Ursula K. Le Guin<\/span><\/p>\n

Rationalists are admirable beings, rationalism is a hideous monster when it claims for itself omnipotence. Attribution of omnipotence to reason is as bad a piece of idolatry as is worship of stock and stone believing it to be God. I plead not for the suppression of reason, but for a due recognition of that in us which sanctifies reason.<\/span>
\n Mahatma Gandhi<\/span><\/p>\n

Self-denial is indispensable to a strong character, and the highest kind comes from a religious stock.<\/span>
\n Theodore Parker<\/span><\/p>\n

The freedom to make a fortune on the stock exchange has been made to sound more alluring than freedom of speech.<\/span>
\n John Mortimer<\/span><\/p>\n

October. This is one of the peculiarly dangerous months to speculate in stocks in. The others are July, January, September, April, November, May, March, June, December, August, and February.<\/span>
\n Mark Twain<\/span><\/p>\n

I have, thanks to my travels, added to my stock all the superstitions of other countries. I know them all now, and in any critical moment of my life, they all rise up in armed legions for or against me.<\/span>
\n Sarah Bernhardt<\/span><\/p>\n

Theories are private property, but truth is common stock.<\/span>
\n Charles Caleb Colton<\/span><\/p>\n

I was lucky enough to see with my own eyes the recent stock-market crash, where they lost several million dollars, a rabble of dead money that went sliding off into the sea. Never as then, amid suicides, hysteria, and groups of fainting people, have I felt the sensation of real death, death without hope, death that is nothing but rottenness, for the spectacle was terrifying but devoid of greatness… I felt something like a divine urge to bombard that whole canyon of shadow, where ambulances collected suicides whose hands were full of rings.<\/span>
\n Federico Garcia Lorca<\/span><\/p>\n

I was always embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious and sacrifice and the expression in vain. We had heard them, sometimes standing in the rain almost out of earshot, so that only the shouted words came through, and had read them, on proclamations that were slapped up by billposters over other proclamations, now for a long time, and I had seen nothing sacred, and the things that were glorious had no glory and the sacrifices were like the stockyards at Chicago if nothing was done with the meat except to bury it.<\/span>
\n Ernest Hemingway<\/span><\/p>\n

Such a wife as I want… must be young, handsome I lay most stress upon a good shape, sensible a little learning will do, well-bread, chaste, and tender. As to religion, a moderate stock will satisfy me. She must believe in God and hate a saint.<\/span>
\n Alexander Hamilton<\/span><\/p>\n
