William Browne quotes:

Investing is not a natural science but rather a social science. So, it's never purely empirical; what you are trying to do is everything you possibly can to enhance your probabilities of being right more often than being wrong.

The king to Oxford sent a troop of horse, For Tories own no argument but force; With equal care, to Cambridge books he sent, For Whigs allow no force but argument.

Oft the cloud that wraps the present hour serves but to brighten all our future days.

If heaven send no supplies, The fairest blossom of the garden dies.

Whose life is a bubble, and in length a span.

But well-a-day, the gardener careless grew, The maids and fairies both were kept away, And in a drought the caterpillars threw Themselves upon the bud and every spray. God shield the stock! if Heaven send no supplies, The fairest blossom of the garden dies.

There is no season such delight can bring, as summer, autumn, winter and the spring.
