More quotes by Warren Buffett
I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here.
Warren Buffett
I always invest in companies an idiot could run, because one day one will.
Warren Buffett
Having a large amount of leverage is like driving a car with a dagger on the steering wheel pointed at your heart. If you do that, you will be a better driver. There will be fewer accidents but when they happen, they will be fatal.
Warren Buffett
I don't measure my life by the money I've made. Other people might, but certainly don't.
Warren Buffett
You’d get very rich if you thought of yourself as having a card with only twenty punches in a lifetime, and every financial decision used up one punch. You’d resist the temptation to dabble. You’d make more good decisions and you’d make more big decisions.
Warren Buffett
In some corner of the world they are probably still holding regular meetings of the Flat Earth Society. We derive no comfort because important people, vocal people, or great numbers of people agree with us. Nor do we derive comfort if they don't.
Warren Buffett
I never invest in anything that I don't understand.
Warren Buffett
If this is a war, my side has the nuclear bomb. We have K Street. We have Wall Street. Debbie doesn't have anybody. I want a government that is responsive to the people who got the short straw in life.
Warren Buffett
With a wonderful business, you can figure out what will happen you can't figure out when it will happen. You don't want to focus on when, you want to focus on what. If you're right about what, you don't have to worry about when
Warren Buffett
Charlie and I have a number of filters that things have to get through before we'll think about them.
Warren Buffett
Don't risk what is important to you, to get what is not important to you.
Warren Buffett
If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.
Warren Buffett
It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.
Warren Buffett
Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline do you get rational behavior.
Warren Buffett
I think you'll have plenty of scrutiny as how the money's invested. I mean, just like the RFC. When the RFC operated, people knew which institutions they were buying preferred stock in. And it worked very well.
Warren Buffett
If you’re in the luckiest one per cent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 per cent.
Warren Buffett
The best business returns are usually achieved by companies that are doing something quite similar today to what they were doing five or ten years ago.
Warren Buffett
Truly conservative actions arise from intelligent hypotheses, correct facts and sound reasoning.
Warren Buffett
I put heavy weight on certainty. It's not risky to buy securities at a fraction of what they're worth.
Warren Buffett
When a management with reputation for brilliance gets hooked up with a business with a reputation for bad economics, it's the reputation of the business that remains intact.
