Charlie Munger’s Favorite Poem

I to my perils
Of cheat and charmer
Came clad in armour
By stars benign.

Hope lies to mortals
And most believe her
But man’s deceiver
Was never mine.

The thoughts of others
Were light and fleeting,
Of lovers’ meeting
Or luck or fame.

Mine were of trouble,
And mine were steady,
So I was ready
When trouble came.
-By Housman
