"What motivates me? I’m ambitious and I like to do things well. I love to create something that really works. We have lots and lots and lots of strategies, and each new one gives me a lot of pleasure, to see something new that works." - Jim Simons - Hedge fund investor

Quote: Jim Simons – Hedge fund investor

"The system as it is today is extraordinarily elaborate, but it’s not a whole lot of equations. It’s what’s called machine learning. You find things that are predictive." - Jim Simons - Hedge fund investor

Quote: Jim Simons – Hedge fund investor

"We just hired smart people. My algorithm has always been: get smart people together, give them a lot of freedom, create an atmosphere where everyone talks to everyone else—they’re not hiding in a corner with their own little thing—and provide the best infrastructure, the best computers, and so on, that people can work with. Make everyone partners." - Jim Simons - Hedge fund investor

Quote: Jim Simons – Hedge fund investor

"We underestimate the role of luck. Typically, if someone fails at something, he’ll say, “I had bad luck,” and if he makes a success, he’ll say, “I was a smart guy.” People don’t usually say, “Oh, I was just lucky,” when they make a big success. I think luck played a role. I was in the right place at the right time." - Jim Simons - Hedge fund investor

Quote: Jim Simons – Hedge fund investor

"Obviously I feel like I come at it from a point where I've achieved a lot in the game. I feel like, you know, I can call myself a major champion, which is nice, but my ultimate goal is to win all four... Obviously I'm leaving it late, but that would be the ultimate goal for sure." - Justin Rose - The Masters 2026

Quote: Justin Rose – The Masters 2026

"A man to whom it has been given to bless the world with a great creative idea has no need for the praise of posterity. His very achievement has already conferred a higher boon upon him." - Albert Einstein - Nobel Laureate

Quote: Albert Einstein – Nobel Laureate

"If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it because I am somebody!" - Rev. Jesse Jackson - American civil rights activist

Quote: Rev. Jesse Jackson – American civil rights activist
