Here's a few

"The historical data support one conclusion with unusual force: To invest with success, you must be a long-term investor."

"Investing is not nearly as difficult as it looks. Successful investing involves doing a few things right and avoiding serious mistakes."

"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face."

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him "At my age I don't even buy green bananas"
 
...few more:

"The stock market is filled with individuals who know the price of everything, but the value of nothing." - Phillip Fisher

Investing without an education and research will ultimately lead to regrettable investment decisions. Research is much more than just listening to popular opinion.

"It's not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for." - Robert Kiyosaki

If you're a millionaire by the time you're 30, but blow it all by age 40, you've gained nothing. Grow and protect your investment portfolio by carefully diversifying it, and you may find yourself funding many generations to come.

The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets.
- John D Rockefeller, the world's richest man in the late 1800s

It sounds pretty callous, but it's true. Take a look at any stock chart
over a long period, and you'll see some pretty big dips. Those were obviously the best buying opportunities, but they were also the times when the experts were urging you to sell. It takes courage to buy when everyone else is running for the hills, but if you believe in the long-term fundamentals of the company involved, it's the right thing to do.

The Lesson: Think long-term. If the long-term outlook is good, then temporary crises are just great buying opportunities. Same goes for real estate.
