In 40 years when you are old and can't find a boyfriend or girlfriend, relying on money will only get you encounters with gold diggers and green tea bitches. Having wealth doesn't necessarily give you an advantage over young people with only 100,000, youth is capital.

In the long run, it is difficult for a stock to earn much better returns than the capital return of the business behind it. If a company achieves a 6% return on capital over 40 years, even if you buy it at a significant discount and hold it for 40 years, your return won’t differ much from 6%. Conversely, if a company achieves an 18% return on capital over 20 or 30 years, even if you buy it at what seems to be a high price, you will ultimately achieve remarkable results.

("In the long term, it’s difficult for a stock to earn a much better return than the business which underlies it earns. If the business earns a 6% return on capital for 40 years and you hold it for 40 years, you’re not going to do much different than a 6% return, even if you buy it at a huge discount. Conversely, if a business earns 18% return on capital over 20 or 30 years, even if you pay an expensive looking price, you’ll end up with one hell of a result.")
