The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people.
- Mark Twain
"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing
you will make one."
- Elbert Hubbard
“In business and economic decision making, reliance on data
causes severe side effects—data is now plentiful thanks to connectivity, and
the proportion of spuriousness in the data increases as one gets more immersed
in it. A very rarely discussed property of data: it is toxic in large
quantities—even in moderate quantities…. The more frequently you look at data,
the more noise you are disproportionally likely to get (rather than the
valuable part, called the signal); hence the higher the noise-to-signal ratio.”
–Nassim Taleb, Antifragile
"It's time to start living the life you've imagined"
- Henry James
