Charlie Munger

If you're going to try and become wise and educated, which I regard as the ultimate human achievement, it's clear that you’re not going to do it by finishing your formal education.

In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn't read all the time—none, zero.

It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.

All I want to know is where I'm going to die, so I'll never go there.

The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.

Acknowledge your weaknesses and then choose a spouse or a partner who is strong in your weak spots.

You don’t have to be brilliant, only a little wiser than the other guys, on average, for a long, long time.

The best way to get what you want is to deserve what you want.

Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up.
