More quotes by Warren Buffett
I've made money over the years by buying into good companies, run by good people, at attractive prices. And I don't try and make it out of buying into the market at one point and selling at another point.
Warren Buffett

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
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
Money will always flow toward opportunity, and there is an abundance of that in America.
Warren Buffett
We also believe candour benefits us as managers. The CEO who misleads often in public eventually misleads himself in private.
Warren Buffett
It's never paid to bet against America.
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
The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves - and the better the teacher, the better the student body.
Warren Buffett
A newspaper that reduces its coverage of the news important to its community is certain to reduce its readership as well
Warren Buffett
If you can eliminate the government as a 39.6% partner, then you will be much better off.
Warren Buffett
I always say that in investing you want to buy stock in a company that has a business that's so good that an idiot can run it, because sooner or later one will. We have a country like that.
Warren Buffett
