Submit Your Quotes

[Soultrader 12]

Dear Traders,

 

I have implemented a random quote generator which will apply this to the bottom of the page. I did steal this idea from another site but felt it would be refreshing it we can see a motivational or inspirational quote every time we view a page.

 

I have started collecting quotes on my own but would appreciate if members can contribute your favorite or preferred quotes you would like to see at the bottom of the page.

 

Thank you. :beer:

I had no idea what you were talking about James until I scrolled all the way to the bottom. Don't mean to rain on the parade, but who's looking down there?

thanks... just spent 5 hours of my time building this.

 

Didn't want the quotes to stick out as much and nowhere else really to put it. I think its a nice small addition to have.

[Sherlock 10]

SOCRATES:

 

There is a very fine line dividing sense from nonsense.

The great majority are unaware of its existence, or, choose to ignore it. Consequently they succeed in misdirecting themselves to choose the wrong side of this line, for reasons best known to themselves. This is a source of amazement to those very few able to correctly logically deduce and reason, viewing nearly everything you will encounter here as nonsense, pure nonsense, that the majority ultimately embrace.

 

Hofstadter's law:

 

It always longer than you expect, even when you take Hofstadter's law into account.

 

 

Wirth's law:

 

Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster.

 

Roald Admundson (1927):

 

Visotry awaits those who have everything in order - people call that luck. Defeat is certain for those who have forgotten to take the necessary precuations in time - that's called bad luck.

 

Confucius:

The superiod man makes demands on himself, the inferior man makes demands on others.

 

Tao te Ching:

 

Tetragram fifty-six:

Those who know do not speak

Those who speak do not know

Block the passages

Close the door

Blunt the shaprness

Untie the tangles

Harmonize with the brightness

Identify with the way of the world

 

chapter 11 of Tao te Ching:

 

Using what's not

 

Thirty spokes converge on a hub

What's not there makes the wheel useful

 

Clay is shaped to form a pot

What's not there makes the pot useful

 

Doors and windows are cut to shape a room

What's not there makes the room useful

 

Take advantage of what's not there

By making use of what's not

 

Kenny Rogers:

 

The Gambler

 

You have to know when to hold them

You have to know when to fold them

You have to know when to walk away

You have to know when to run

"The newly developed strategy works every time until starting to trade with real money."

 

"A profitable strategy everyone uses will be unprofitable."

 

"We don't see patterns as they want them to be; We see patterns as we want them to be."

 

"The truth is recognising a profitable pattern is not in your eyes, but in your mind."

 

"The best profitable experience is losing money."

 

"Many predictions in trading have a chance of success greater than zero; but very close to it."

Unfortunately not, those are some quotes I picked up along the line, from various people on forums, chatrooms, perhaps books also,... Sorry that I can't be more specific, but afaik these are not really famous quotes of well-known authors. But they aren't mine either
