• La primera y más importante regla que debemos observar... es utilizar todas nuestras fuerzas con la máxima energía. La segunda regla es concentrar nuestro poder tanto como sea posible contra la sección en la que se van a asestar los golpes principales e incurrir en desventajas en otros lugares, para que nuestras posibilidades de éxito aumenten en el punto decisivo. La tercera regla es no perder nunca el tiempo. Por último, la cuarta regla es seguir nuestros éxitos con la máxima energía. Sólo la persecución del enemigo vencido da los frutos de la victoria.

  Carl von Clausewitz

• A singular disadvantage of the sea lies in the fact that after successfully surmounting one wave you discover another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats. In a ten-foot dinghy one can get an idea of the resources of the sea in the line of waves that is not probable to the average experience, which is never at sea in a dinghy.

• Hace poco llevé a mi hijo a ver La Mansión Encantada, que era una de las peores cosas (dudo incluso en llamarla película) que he visto en mi vida.

• Don't make your audience play Jeopardy. Giving your answer before asking the question puts your audience at a disadvantage. It will also reveal your biases. Make it clear what question you are trying to answer first. Then allow your audience to engage in answering the question too.

• The sexual regions constitute a particularly vulnerable spot, and remain so even in man, and the need for their protection which thus exists conflicts with the prominent display required for sexual allurement. This end is far more effectively attained, with greater advantage and less disadvantage, by concentrating the chief ensigns of sexual attractiveness on the upper and more conspicuous parts of the body. This method is well-nigh universal among animals as well as in man.

• All the equity investors, in total, will surely bear a performance disadvantage per annum equal to the total croupiers' costs they have jointly elected to bear. This is an inescapable fact of life. And it is also inescapable that exactly half of the investors will get a result below the median result after the croupiers' take, which median result may well be somewhere between unexciting and lousy.

  Charlie Munger

• Hay una razón por la que un hombre nace negro y con otras desventajas, mientras que otro nace blanco con grandes ventajas. La razón es que una vez tuvimos un estado antes de venir aquí, y fuimos obedientes, más o menos, a las leyes que se nos dieron allí. Aquellos que fueron fieles en todo allí recibieron mayores bendiciones aquí, y aquellos que no fueron fieles recibieron menos...

  Joseph Fielding Smith
