A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought.

I don't have my diploma from the University of Nebraska hanging on my office wall, and I don't have my diploma from Columbia up there either-but I do have my Dale Carnegie graduation certificate proudly displayed.
Warren Buffett

I really like my life. I've arranged my life so that I can do what I want.
Warren Buffett

The stockmarket is a semi-psychotic creature given to extremes of elation and despair.
Warren Buffett

I spend twelve hours a week - a little over 10% of my waking hours - playing the game. Now I am trying to figure out how to get by on less sleep in order to fit in a few more hands.

I checked the actuarial tables, and the lowest death rate is among six-year-olds. So I decided to eat like a six-year-old.
Warren Buffett

Confidence in markets and in institutions, it's a lot like oxygen. When you have it, you don't even think about it. It's indispensable. You can go years without thinking about it. When it's gone for five minutes, it's the only thing to think about.
Warren Buffett
Image
I look at everything. That's my job. I really do, every day. I think about everything.

Bad terminology is the enemy of good thinking.
