Pithy & Witty Trading Quotes from Members

[timsk]

Spend any time on the forums of T2W and, before long, you'll read some really pithy comments. They'll range from the witty to the insightful and from acerbic to erudite. Hopefully, this thread will become a repository for the very best of them. Quotes can be from any forum and on any trading related subject. Please credit the member you quote and, ideally provide a link to the original thread. The quotes should be self explanatory and not require any further comment. Post #2 contains the quote that prompted the idea for the thread.
