Here are some quotes that convey the idea that there’s no such thing as “fast money” in stock market investing and trading:

“The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.” – Warren Buffett (This is a classic and directly addresses the idea of needing patience, not speed.)

“Investing is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It is a get-rich-slow scheme.” – Benjamin Graham (Though not always attributed to Graham, it reflects his philosophy of value investing and long-term perspective.)

“The market does not care about your hopes or your fears. It only cares about its own internal logic, which is often slow and deliberate.” – Edwin Lefèvre (from Reminiscences of a Stock Operator) (While fictional, the character Livermore’s experiences often highlight the dangers of trying to force quick profits.)

“Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a strong investment portfolio.” – Unknown (A common adage applied to investing, emphasizing gradual growth.)

“Successful investing takes time, discipline, and patience. No matter how great the talent or effort, some things just take time: You can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.” – Warren Buffett (Again, Buffett stresses the time element.)

“The desire for quick profit is one of the most powerful enemies of success in the stock market.” – Jesse Livermore (Though a speculator, Livermore understood the pitfalls of impatience.)

“If you’re not willing to own a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for 10 minutes.” – Warren Buffett (Highlights the long-term mindset.)

“Trading is a marathon, not a sprint. Those looking for quick riches usually find quick losses.” – Attributed to various traders (A common sentiment in trading circles.)

These quotes emphasize that successful investing and trading are characterized by patience, long-term perspective, discipline, and a realistic understanding that significant wealth accumulation in the markets is a gradual process, not an overnight event.
