Some quotes that I like:
“Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy. Profit from folly rather than participate in it.” – Warren Buffett
“Only those who are asleep make no mistakes.” – Ingvar Kamprad
Not only applies to investing, but life in general:
“The big question about how people behave, is whether they’ve got an inner scorecard or an outer scorecard … if the world couldn’t see your results, would you rather be thought of as the world’s greatest investor but in reality have the world’s worst record? Or be thought of as the world’s worst investor when you were actually the best?”
- Warren Buffett
