QUOTE A DAY - Jan. 18th, 2011
Greetings fellow quote lovers:
One of my favorite modern philosophers is Nicolas Taleb.
He wrote the amazing book, The Black Swan which is very
dense but extremely worthwhile to get through.
He recently write a book "The Bed of Procrustes", which
is an encapsulation of Taleb's thinking by presenting
aphorisms on many different topics.
I have a sampling of those aphorisms for you today. I
hope you enjoy them. Have a wonderful week!
Best,
JA
