More quotes by Warren Buffett
In looking for people to hire, look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence and energy. And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you.
Warren Buffett
Anything can happen anytime in markets. And no advisor, economist, or TV commentator-and definitely not Charlie nor I-can tell you when chaos will occur. Market forecasters will fill your ear but will never fill your wallet.
Warren Buffett
You need a lot of curiosity for a long, long time.
Warren Buffett
Cash combined with courage in a time of crisis is priceless.
Warren Buffett
I will do anything that is basically covered by the law to reduce Berkshire's tax rate. For example, on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That's the only reason to build them. They don't make sense without the tax credit.

Warren Buffett
As one of my older friends says, Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be. Let's take a stab at it, anyway.
Warren Buffett
Equities will do well over time - you just have to avoid getting excited when other people are getting excited.
Warren Buffett
The key to success is emotional stability.
Warren Buffett
We are in effect making a - to some extent, making a choice between future inflation and getting our - getting off the floor. And we're likely - we're likely to have more inflation in the future as a consequence of the things we do to fight the present situation.
Warren Buffett
Market prices for stocks fluctuate at great amplitudes around intrinsic value but, over the long term, intrinsic value is virtually always reflected at some point in market price.
Warren Buffett
It’s not that I want money. It’s the fun of making money and watching it grow.
Warren Buffett
I never buy anything unless I can fill out on a piece of paper my reasons. I may be wrong, but I would know the answer to that ...I'm paying $32 billion today for the Coca Cola Company because... If you can't answer that question, you shouldn't buy it. If you can answer that question, and you do it a few times, you'll make a lot of money.
Warren Buffett
I mean, Hank Paulson is in there [ Treasury] at the wrong time, probably shouldn't have taken the job. He's a friend of mine. But he knows markets, he knows corporations' work, he knows money, and he's got the interests of the country at heart.
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
The fact that people will be full of greed, fear, or folly is predictable. The sequence is not predictable.
Warren Buffett
