After waiting 40 years, when you are old and can't find a boyfriend or girlfriend, relying on money will only get you to meet gold diggers and green tea bitches. Even if you have a billion, it doesn't necessarily give you an advantage over a young person 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.")
