I've seen more people fail because of liquor and leverage -- leverage being borrowed money. 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.

More quotes by Warren Buffett
You do not adequately protect yourself by being half awake when other are sleeping.
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
Cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser every day.

Warren Buffett
I would say that life at 84, I am having as much fun as I've ever had in my life. I mean I get to do what I love every day with the people I love-and it just doesn't get any better than that.
Warren Buffett
In the insurance business, there is no statute of limitation on stupidity.
Warren Buffett
Never invest in a business you can't understand
Warren Buffett
Making money isn't the backbone of our guiding purpose making money is the by-product of our guiding purpose. If you're doing something you love, you're more likely to put your all into it, and that generally equates to making money
Warren Buffett
Money will not change how healthy you are or how many people love you.
Warren Buffett
When the president of the United States goes out at, you know, 8:00 o'clock in the morning and then his own party votes gets him 2 to 1 in the house, you know that somehow a message isn't getting out. It takes real leadership.
Warren Buffett
Very successful people say no to almost everything.
