“What are the odds that people will make smart decisions about money if they don’t need to make smart decisions—if they can get rich making dumb decisions?”

“Seize what's been handed you. Make smart decisions. Make decisions because life is a temporary situation.”

“Balanced emotions are crucial to intuitive decision making.”

“Investment bankers make money for a living.”

“None of us is as dumb as all of us. It means that when you get a group of people together to make a critical decision, groupthink can set in.

There might be some people who think it's the wrong decision, but they don't say anything. They just remain a part of the group. We've learned that groups can make stupid decisions that no single individual in the group would make.”

“Being nice doesn’t make you stupid. It makes you feel good because you know you are gracious enough to forgive and smart enough to realize how distasteful some people can be.”

“Since my money is God's money, every spending decision I make is a spiritual decision.”
