Quote by Vernon Smith

"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design."

"Markets work so well that we are not aware of how well they work."

"I wanted to understand how markets worked, not just theoretically but in practice."

"An economist is someone who sees something working in practice and wonders if it would work in theory."

"Time waits for no one."

"Time spent with loved ones is never wasted."

"I've been alive for a long time. Long enough to know that you can't trust anyone."

"The past always catches up with you."
