Warren Buffett
Image
Outstanding long-term results are produced primarily by avoiding dumb decisions, rather than by making brilliant ones.
Warren Buffett
Image
I would say the most satisfying thing actually is watching my three children each pick up on their own interests and work many more hours per week than most people that have jobs at trying to intelligently give away that money in fields that they particularly care about.
Warren Buffett
Image
Investors should remember that excitement and expenses are their enemies. And if they insist on trying to time their participation in equities, they should try to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy only when others are fearful.
