• My percentage of winners is only about 50/50, because I cut my losers very quickly. The maximum loss I allow is 7%, and usually I am out of a losing stock a lot quicker. I make my money on the few stocks a year that double and triple in price. The profits in those trades easily makes up for all the small losers.

• There's some way in which we would prefer not to see very clearly the immense gifts and intelligence of some of the people who live in our most abject conditions.

• Thankfully dreams can change. If we'd all stuck with our first dream, the world would be overrun with cowboys and princesses.

• In the end, it's extra effort that separates a winner from second place. But winning takes a lot more that that, too. It starts with complete command of the fundamentals. Then it takes desire, determination, discipline, and self-sacrifice. And finally, it takes a great deal of love, fairness and respect for your fellow man. Put all these together, and even if you don't win, how can you lose?

• Most bodybuilders only have a hazy notion of what they want to look like. They do not say, 'I am going to be a winner.' The negative impulses around the gym can be incredible. I would hear bodybuilders complaining, 'Oh,no! Not another set!' That destroyed them. I have always believed that if you're training for nothing, you're wasting your effort!

• Whatcha gonna do to this?
  You may be older than me, but you're new to this.
  Cause I been out there, queen of MC's,
  When your man was walkin' round in mocknecks and Lee's.
  While you were over here perpetratin' a fraud,
  I was overseas on the charts with Boy George.

  Havin' other competition for dinner.
  Sit you on the table with a plate and cup,
  Say grace...and then eat your ass up.
