"Stay the course. No matter what happens, stick to your program. I’ve said 'Stay the course' a thousand times, and I meant it every time. It is the most important single piece of investment wisdom I can give to you."
John C. Bogle (1929 – 2019)| Vanguard Founder
From the book Common Sense on Mutual Funds, 1999
