More quotes by 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
If at first you do succeed, quit trying on investing.
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
There is seldom just one cockroach in the kitchen. You know, you turn on the light and, all of sudden, they all start scurrying around.
Warren Buffett
Trust is like the air we breathe--when it's present, nobody really notices when it's absent, everybody notices.
Warren Buffett
The Happiest people DO NOT necessarily have the BEST THINGS. They simply APPRECIATE the things they have.
Warren Buffett
We've seen what can be accomplished when we use 50% of our human capacity. If you visualize what 100% can do, you'll join me as an unbridled optimist about America's future.
Warren Buffett
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... It's a positive-sum game, long term. And the only way an investor can get killed is by high fees or by trying to outsmart the market.
Warren Buffett
Invest in as much of yourself as you can, you are your own biggest asset by far.
Warren Buffett
The obligation of a society as prosperous as ours is to figure out how nobody gets left too far behind.
Warren Buffett
I choose to work with every single person that I work with. That ends up being the most important factor. I don't interact with people I don't like or admire. That's the key. It's like marrying.
Warren Buffett
The most common cause of low prices is pessimism - some times pervasive, some times specific to a company or industry. We want to do business in such an environment, not because we like pessimism but because we like the prices it produces. It's optimism that is the enemy of the rational buyer.
Warren Buffett
Over the years, a number of very smart people have learned the hard way that a long string of impressive numbers multiplied by a single zero always equals zero.
Warren Buffett
I'm always interested in understanding the math of things and understanding as much as I can about all aspects of business. And what I learn today may be useful to me two years from now. That's really the wonderful thing about investments is your knowledge is cumulative.
Warren Buffett
We will only do with your money what we would do with our own.
Warren Buffett
The future is never clear you pay a very high price in the stock market for a cheery consensus. Uncertainty actually is the friend of the buyer of long-term values.
Warren Buffett
If you hit a hole in one every hole, you wouldn’t play golf for very long.
Warren Buffett
The best thing that happens to us is when a great company gets into temporary trouble...We want to buy them when they're on the operating table.
Warren Buffett
If we have a strength, it is in recognizing when we are operating well within our circle of competence and when we are approaching the perimeter.
Warren Buffett
I don't think it would be crazy to have a model or an entity model on the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
Warren Buffett
