Do you have a favorite "one liner" when it comes to money (investing)?
Here's a link to a site that I came accross that has a few good one liners. Sometimes they are what we remember because they are simple and to the point.
A few: "A fool and his money are soon parted." "A penny saved is a penny earned." "I only buy stocks that go up. If they don't go up, I don't buy them."
Favorite bear market quote: Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.

"A fool and his money are soon parted."
"A penny saved is a penny earned."
"I only buy stocks that go up. If they don't go up, I don't buy them."
"Hair today. Gone tomorrow."
Others, not investing specific:
"Houston - We've got a problem."
"We have met the enemy - and he is us."
"Too clever by half."
A favorite poem:
Money.
Workers earn it,
Spendthrifts burn it,
Bankers lend it,
Yachtsmen spend it,
Forgers fake it,
Taxes take it,
Dying leave it,
Heirs receive it,
Thrifty save it,
Misers crave it,
Robbers seize it,
Rich increase it,
Gamblers lose it,
I sure could use it.
