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.
Warren Buffett
Read 500 pages every day. That's how knowledge works. It builds up like compound interest.
Warren Buffett
If you own the only newspaper in town, up until the last five years or so, you have pricing power and you didn't have to go to the office.
Warren Buffett
You really don't need leverage in this world much. If you're smart, you're going to make a lot of money without borrowing. I've never borrowed a significant amount of money in my life. Never. Never will. I've got no interest in it.

Warren Buffett
I do not believe in inheriting your position in society based on which womb you come from... I think a rich person should leave his children enough so they can do anything, but not enough so they can do nothing.
Warren Buffett
If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.
Warren Buffett
In the insurance business, there is no statute of limitation on stupidity.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
Failure comes from ego, greed, envy, fear, imitation. I have success not because I am smart, but because I am rational.
Warren Buffett
A very rich person should leave his kids enough to do anything, but not enough to do nothing.
Warren Buffett
Investors should be skeptical of history-based models. Constructed by a nerdy-sounding priesthood using esoteric terms such as beta, gamma, sigma and the like, these models tend to look impressive. Too often, though, investors forget to examine the assumptions behind the models. Beware of geeks bearing formulas.
