History repeats itself all the time on Wall Street. - Edwin Lefèvre

The speculators deadly enemies are: Ignorance, greed, fear and hope. All the statute books in the world and all the rules of all the Exchanges on earth cannot eliminate these from the human animal.

If a man didn't make mistakes he'd own the world in a month. But if he didn't profit by his mistakes he wouldn't own a blessed thing.

Nowhere does history indulge in repetitions so often or so uniformly as in Wall Street.
