More quotes by Warren Buffett
I've argued with the senators and congressmen I've talked to. You don't want to be too little too late. If you buy them at the right price, you may be buying two trillion of face value.
Warren Buffett
I have worked with investors for 60 years and I have yet to see anyone - not even when capital gains rates were 39.9 percent in 1976-77 - shy away from a sensible investment because of the tax rate on the potential gain.
Warren Buffett
Sound investing can make you very wealthy if you're not in too big a hurry
Warren Buffett
If you've got the power to raise prices without losing business to a competitor, you've got a very good business. And if you have to have a prayer session before raising the price by a tenth of a cent, then you've got a terrible business. I've been in both, and I know the difference.
Warren Buffett
I was lucky enough to be born in a time and place where society values my talent, and gave me a good education to develop that talent, and set up the laws and the finanical system to let me do what I love doing-and make a lot of money doing it. The least I can do is help pay for all that.
Warren Buffett
Our policy is to concentrate holdings. We try to avoid buying a little of this or that when we are only lukewarm about the business or its price. When we are convinced as to attractiveness, we believe in buying worthwhile amounts.
Warren Buffett
Writing checks to the IRS that include strings of zeros does not bother me ... Overall, we feel extraordinarily lucky to have been dealt a hand in life that enables us to write large checks to the government rather than one requiring the government to regularly write checks to us-say, because we are disabled or unemployed.
Warren Buffett
Of our 49 billion, we haven't moved any to Bitcoin
Warren Buffett
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.
Warren Buffett
The best way in my view is to just buy a low-cost index fund and keep buying it regularly over time, because you'll be buying into a wonderful industry, which in effect is all of American industry... People ought to sit back and relax and keep accumulating over time.
Warren Buffett
There is no substitute for a local newspaper that is doing its job.
Warren Buffett
There's no use running if you're on the wrong road.
Warren Buffett
A diamond cannot be polished without friction, nor a person perfected without trials. Someone is enjoying shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Warren Buffett
It's class warfare, my class is winning, but they shouldn't be.
Warren Buffett
First come the innovators, then come the imitators, then come the idiots.
Warren Buffett
Benign neglect, bordering on sloth, remains the hallmark of our investment process.
Warren Buffett
What you really want to do in investments is figure out what's important and knowable. If it's unimportant or unknowable you forget about it.
Warren Buffett
One’s objective should be to get it right, get it quick, get it out and get it over. Your problem won’t improve with age.
Warren Buffett
If you knew what was going to happen in the economy, you still wouldn't necessarily know what was going to happen in the stock market.
Warren Buffett
What motivates most gold purchasers is their belief that the ranks of the fearful will grow ... As 'bandwagon' investors join any party, they create their own truth - for a while.
Warren Buffett
