More quotes by Warren Buffett
[Gold] gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.
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
I knew a lot about what I did when I was 20. I had read a lot, and I aspired to learn everything I could about the subject.
Warren Buffett
I learned to go into business only with people whom I like, trust, and admire.

The American economy is going to do fine. But it won't do fine every year and every week and every month. I mean, if you don't believe that, forget about buying stocks anyway...

Warren Buffett
If you own a wonderful business...the best thing to do is keep it. All you're going to do is trade your wonderful business for a whole bunch of cash, which isn't as good as the business, and you got the problem of investing in other businesses, and you probably paid a tax in between. So my advice to anybody who owns a wonderful business is keep it.
Warren Buffett
I mean, in terms of alternatives, some people have suggested for example that why don't we - why isn't America doing what Berkshire Hathaway is doing? Why isn't that a better deal for America?
Warren Buffett
Great investment opportunities come around when excellent companies are surrounded by unusual circumstances that cause the stock to be misappraised.
Warren Buffett
...I will give you two pieces of advice. Invest as much in yourself as you can you are your own best asset by far. Then follow your passion you want to be really excited to get out of bed every morning.
Warren Buffett
The best education you can get is investing in yourself, and that doesn't mean college or university.
Warren Buffett
Having first rate people on the team is more important than designing hierarchies and clarifying who reports to whom.
Warren Buffett
Confidence is key. You're not going to put your money - you're not going to leave your money with me unless you're confident I'm going to give it back to you.
Warren Buffett
Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket, not the thimble.
Warren Buffett
Energy deregulation will be the largest transfer of wealth in history.
Warren Buffett
Uncertainty is the friend of the buyer of long term values.
Warren Buffett
Earnings can be pliable as putty when a charlatan heads the company reporting them.
