Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner. The asset I most value, aside from health, is interesting, diverse, and long-standing friends.

More quotes by Warren Buffett
If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.
Warren Buffett
Never give up searching for the job that you’re passionate about. Try to find the job you’d have if you were independently rich. Forget about the pay. When you’re associating with the people that you love, doing what you love, it doesn’t get any better than that.
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
When we went crazy, and we did go crazy on residential real estate, it set things in motion that just - the dominoes started toppling.
Warren Buffett
OUR leaders have asked for “shared sacrifice.” But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched.
Warren Buffett
Valuing a business is part art and part science.
Warren Buffett
You know, people talk about this being an uncertain time. You know, all time is uncertain. I mean, it was uncertain back in - in 2007, we just didn't know it was uncertain. It was - uncertain on September 10th, 2001. It was uncertain on October 18th, 1987, you just didn't know it.
Warren Buffett
It's a lot easier to buy things than it is to sell them.
Warren Buffett
Uncertainty is the friend of the buyer of long term values.
Warren Buffett
You really don't need leverage in this world much. If you're smart, you're going to make a lot of money without borrowing. I've never borrowed a significant amount of money in my life. Never. Never will. I've got no interest in it.
Warren Buffett
A lot of people disagree with me on this, I believe in mark to market.
Warren Buffett
One of the ironies of the stock market is the emphasis on activity. Brokers, using terms such as 'marketability' and 'liquidity,' sing the praises of companies with high share turnover... but investors should understand that what is good for the croupier is not good for the customer. A hyperactive stock market is the pick pocket of enterprise.
Warren Buffett
The only time to buy these is on a day with no 'y' in it.
Warren Buffett
Money will not change how healthy you are or how many people love you.
Warren Buffett
I never try to predict the market.
Warren Buffett
I don't know that I could draw one that's perfect. But I'd rather by approximately right than precisely wrong, and it would be precisely wrong to turn it down.
Warren Buffett
Failure comes from ego, greed, envy, fear, imitation. I have success not because I am smart, but because I am rational.
Warren Buffett
We do not view the company itself as the ultimate owner of our business assets but instead view the company as a conduit through which our shareholders own assets.
Warren Buffett
I always knew I was going to be rich. I don't think I ever doubted it for a minute.
Warren Buffett
Investing is simple, but not easy.
