More quotes by Warren Buffett
It is easier to rationalize than it is to be rational.
Warren Buffett
It takes 150 years to build an investment bank and only five minutes to convince you to sell me preferred stock in it at a 10% interest rate.
Warren Buffett
The one piece of advice I can give you is, do what turns you on. Do something that if you had all the money in the world, you’d still be doing it. You’ve got to have a reason to jump out of bed in the morning.
Warren Buffett
Investors have to remember: corporate profits are going up, but stocks are going up faster. How can that continue indefinitely? Investors can only earn what companies themselves can earn the government or the markets themselves don't kick anything in. How can you get anything more out of a farm than what it grows?
Warren Buffett
We also believe candour benefits us as managers. The CEO who misleads often in public eventually misleads himself in private.
Warren Buffett
You can't buy what is popular and do well.
Warren Buffett
The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves - and the better the teacher, the better the student body.
Warren Buffett
Gold has two significant shortcomings, being neither of much use nor procreative.
Warren Buffett
There are 309 million people out there that are trying to improve their lot in life. And we've got a system that allows them to do it.
Warren Buffett
The .350 hitter expects, and also deserves, a big payoff for his performance - even if he plays for a cellar-dwelling team. And a .150 hitter should get no reward - even if he plays for a pennant winner.
Warren Buffett
The managers at fault periodically report on the lesson they have learned from the latest disappointment. They then usually seek out future lessons.
Warren Buffett
Always associate yourself with people who are better than you.
Warren Buffett
Investment decision should be made on the basis of the most probable compounding of after-tax net worth with minimum risk.
Warren Buffett
I mean, you know, you're not going to change the human animal. And the human animal really doesn't get a lot smarter.
Warren Buffett
You don't need to be a rocket scientist. Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with 130 IQ.
Warren Buffett
The advice you never go broke taking a profit is foolish.
Warren Buffett
We've had public companies in the past in that business and they bleed. We've got a lot more blood than they do.
Warren Buffett
The only question is whether you’re going to do it today or tomorrow. If you keep saying you’re going to do it tomorrow, you’ll never do it. You have to get on it today.
Warren Buffett
No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time.
Warren Buffett
Our future rates of gain will fall far short of those achieved in the past. Berkshire's capital base is now simply too large to allow us to earn truly outsized returns. If you believe otherwise, you should consider a career in sales but avoid one in mathematics.
Warren Buffett
