More From Peter Lynch

Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery, and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your tickets the nearer your approach to this certainty.

We've created a multitrillion-dollar edifice for dispensing the medical equivalent of lottery tickets - and have only the rudiments of a system to prepare patients for the near certainty that those tickets will not win. hope is not a plan, but hope is our plan.

An important key to investing is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets.

I had a few stocks, but stocks took a dive. i never sell my stocks.

Basic would never have surfaced because there was always a language better than basic for that purpose. that language was joss, which predated basic and was beautiful. but basic happened to be on a ge timesharing system that was done by dartmouth, and when ge decided to franchise that, it started spreading basic around just because it was there, not because it had any intrinsic merits whatsoever.

For all your long-term investments, such as retirement accounts that you won't touch for at least ten years, you need a mix of stocks and bonds. stocks offer the best shot at inflation-beating gains. but stocks don't always go up. that's where bonds come into play: they have less upside potential, but they also do not pack the same risk.

I think my idea of retirement might be to one day work a 40-hour week.

If you depend on your company to take care of your retirement, your future income will be divided by five. take care of it yourself, and you can multiply your future income by five.

Retirement wasn't a reward at the end of a well-run career ... it was a void surrounded by endless dull hours, haunted by memories of work.

For me retiring wasn't hard once i knew that that was the decision i was going to make.
