Selections from "Security Analysis" by Benjamin Graham

"It is always good to know the truth, but [on Wall Street] it may not always be wise to act on it."
--pg 404

"When an enterprise pursues questionable accounting, _all_ of its securities must be shunned.  You cannot make a qualitative deduction to allow for unscrupulous management."  --pg 433

"The fact that people will be full of greed, fear or folly is predictable; the sequence is not."  --pg 1491

"Kinds of information: 1) things you can know, and 2) things important to know."  [The intersection of 1 and 2 is extremely rare, constituting a] "small percentage of the total known."
