More quotes by Warren Buffett
You ought to be able to explain why you’re taking the job you’re taking, why you’re making the investment you’re making, or whatever it may be.

Warren Buffett
Valuing a business is part art and part science.
Warren Buffett
It is unquestionably true that the investment companies have their money more conventionally invested than we do. To many people conventionality is indistinguishable from conservatism. In my view, this represents erroneous thinking. Neither a conventional nor an unconventional approach, per se, is conservative.
Warren Buffett
If I got a chance to take one percent of the deal either way, I would make that bet.
Warren Buffett
At age 19, I read a book [The Intelligent Investor] and what I'm doing today, at age 76, is running things through the same thought process I learned from the book I read at 19.
Warren Buffett
If AIG had tried to unwind their derivatives books. I don't know. It would have hit every institution in the world.
Warren Buffett
They say the chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken. The chains you put around yourself now have enormous consequences as you go through life.
Warren Buffett
If this is a war, my side has the nuclear bomb. We have K Street. We have Wall Street. Debbie doesn't have anybody. I want a government that is responsive to the people who got the short straw in life.
Warren Buffett
