Taleb is full of great ones. Here's one I read on the plane a couple of hours ago:

"Heroes are heroes because they are heroic in behavior, not because they won or lost." - Nassim Taleb, Fooled by Randomness

Second time through that one!

Great quotes. Much as I hate to buy books of tweets I did get this one.
