The speculator is not an investor. His object is not to secure a steady return on his money at a good rate of interest, but to profit by either a rise or fall in the price of whatever he is speculating in. Therefore the thing to do is to determine the line of least resistance at the moment of trading; and what he should wait for is the right moment when the line defines itself, because that is his signal to get busy. Jesse Livermore

"Confidence doesn't come from winning, Winning comes from confidence. And confidence comes from hard work." -Vijay Singh OK, I cheated. I know it's not from a trader, but it's my favorite quote when it comes to trading. It reminds me every day to work my ass off rather than waiting for a big day to "present itself".
