Personal Information
Occupation/Title: Anybody not busy being born Is busy dying.
Age: We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives; Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
Location: You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequence of your choice.
College: politics, n.: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage. -- Ambrose Bierce
Degree: Well-makers lead the water (wherever they like); fletchers bend the arrow; carpenters bend a log of wood; wise people fashion themselves.
Favorite Stocks: “When the facts change, I change my opinion. What do you do, sir?”
Investment Style: 'History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition.' -- Milton Friedman
Investment Experience: The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
Interests and Hobbies: I have now reigned about 50 years in victory and peace, beloved by my subjects, dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my allies. Riches and honours, power and pleasure, have waited on my call, nor does any earthly...
Quote: ...blessing appear to have been wanting to my felicity. In this situation I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happiness which have fallen to my lot: They amount to 14. - Abd-ar-Rahman III
Additional Info: Happiness does not come from obtaining something you do not have, but from appreciating what you do have.
