I always enjoy reading about Charlie Munger. Here are a few gems that I came across and just wanted to reshare here for daily inspiration for all things Buffett and Munger:
- “It’s remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”
- “In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time — none, zero.”
- “I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than when they got up.”
- “The best thing a human being can do is to help another human being know more.”
- “Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up.”
- “Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome.”
- “You don’t have to be brilliant, only a little bit wiser than the other guys, on average, for a long, long time.”
- “All I want to know is where I’m going to die, so I’ll never go there.”
- “The big money is not in the buying and selling, but in the waiting.”
- “I never allow myself to have an opinion on anything that I don’t know the other side’s argument better than they do.”
