We can afford to lose money - even a lot of money. But we can't afford to lose reputation - even a shred of reputation.
Warren Buffett
Image
Tell me your heroes and I'll tell you how your life will end up
Warren Buffett
Image
If the reason for doing something is that everyone else is doing it, it's not a good enough reason.
Warren Buffett
Image
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
Image
Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
Image
Having a large amount of leverage is like driving a car with a dagger on the steering wheel pointed at your heart. If you do that, you will be a better driver. There will be fewer accidents but when they happen, they will be fatal.
Warren Buffett
Image
Mr. Market is kind of a drunken psycho. Some days he gets very enthused, some days he gets very depressed. And when he get really enthused you sell to him, and if he gets depressed, you buy from him. There's no moral taint attached to that.
Warren Buffett
Image
I would rather sustain the penalties resulting from over-conservatism than face the consequences of error, perhaps with permanent capital loss, resulting from the adoption of New Era philosophy where trees really do grow to the sky.
Warren Buffett
Image
Investing is forgoing consumption now in order to have the ability to consume more at a later date.
Warren Buffett
Image
Energy deregulation will be the largest transfer of wealth in history.
Warren Buffett
Image
There are 309 million people out there that are trying to improve their lot in life. And we've got a system that allows them to do it.
Warren Buffett
Image
It is more important to say no to an opportunity, than to say yes.
Warren Buffett
Image
When forced to choose, I will not trade even a night's sleep for the chance of extra profits.
