Risk and Diversification - Folk Law and Wisdom / Common Aphorisms

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Source: This aphorism is commonly attributed to Miguel Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote, published in 1605: “…'tis the part of a wise man to keep himself today for tomorrow, and not venture all his eggs in one basket.” However, it is believed that this was a previously well-known Spanish proverb.
