Henry Blackaby

James W. Douglass

 

"He will perish for lack of self-restraint; and will be lost because of an abundance of foolishness." 

Proverbs 5:23

 

"The Fates are just: they give us but our own; Nemesis ripens what our hands have sown." 

John Greenleaf Whittier

 

“The essence of a speculative bubble is a sort of feedback, from price increases, to increased investor enthusiasm, to increased demand, and hence further price increases.  Major speculative bubbles, as I argued in Irrational Exuberance, are always supported by some superficially plausible popular theory that justifies them, and that is widely viewed as having sanction from some authority figures.  These may be called new-era theories.” 

Robert Shiller

Have a pleasant evening.
