More quotes by Warren Buffett
Your premium brand had better be delivering something special, or it's not going to get the business.
Warren Buffett
Lethargy, bordering on sloth should remain the cornerstone of an investment style.
Warren Buffett
Writing a check separates a commitment from a conversation.
Warren Buffett
The (stock) market is there only as a reference point to see if anybody is offering to do anything foolish. When we invest in stocks, we invest in businesses.
Warren Buffett
We like to buy businesses, but we don't like to sell them.
Warren Buffett
If, when making a stock investment, you're not considering holding it at least ten years, don't waste more than ten minutes considering it.
Warren Buffett
People went crazy with tulip bulbs. They went crazy with the South Sea Bubble, they went crazy internet stocks, they went crazy with the uranium stocks back when I was first getting started.
Warren Buffett
We will prosper or suffer in controlled investments in relation to the operating performances of our businesses - we will not attempt to profit by playing various games in the securities markets.
Warren Buffett
If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper-middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end - people like myself - should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it.
Warren Buffett
In our view, derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction carrying dangers that, while latent, are potentially lethal.
Warren Buffett
I did not think I would see the day when, you know, an AIG would not be able to have its checks clear.
Warren Buffett
The time to buy stocks is consistently over time. You should never buy your investments with the idea, 'I have to get a certain return.' You should look at the best return possible and learn to live with that. But you should not try to make your investments earn what you feel you need. It doesn't work that way. The stock doesn't know you own it.
Warren Buffett
The reaction of weak management to weak operations is often weak accounting.
Warren Buffett
But 300 million Americans, their lending institutions, their government, their media, all believed that house prices were going to go up consistently. And that got billed into a $20 trillion residential home market. Lending was done based on it, and everybody did a lot of foolish things.
Warren Buffett
I think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can't be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they're not getting some other matter.
Warren Buffett
To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What's needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework. You must supply the emotional discipline.
Warren Buffett
I was lucky to have the right heroes. Tell me who your heroes are and I'll tell you how you'll turn out to be. The qualities of the one you admire are the traits that you, with a little practice, can make your own, and that, if practiced, will become habit forming.
Warren Buffett
As far as you are concerned, the stock market does not exist. Ignore it.
Warren Buffett
Uncertainty is the friend of the buyer of long term values.
Warren Buffett
I don't want to be on the other side of the table from the customer. I was never selling anything that I didn't believe in myself or use myself.
Warren Buffett
