More quotes by Warren Buffett
People do, as long as you have markets, you'll have excesses.
Warren Buffett
Shares are not mere pieces of paper. They represent part ownership of a business. So, when contemplating an investment, think like a prospective owner.
Warren Buffett
It is madness to risk losing what you need in pursuing what you simply desire.
Warren Buffett
A pin lies in wait for every bubble and when the two eventually meet, a new wave of investors learns some very old lessons.
Warren Buffett
People will always try to stop you from doing the right thing if it is unconventional.
Warren Buffett
When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.
Warren Buffett
If you gave me the choice of being CEO of General Electric or IBM or General Motors, you name it, or delivering papers, I would deliver papers. I would. I enjoyed doing that. I can think about what I want to think. I don't have to do anything I don't want to do.
Warren Buffett
I never try to predict the market.
Warren Buffett
If we start deciding, based on guesses or emotions, whether we will or won't participate in a business where we should have some long run edge, we're in trouble.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
If you want to soar like an eagle in life, you can't be flocking with the turkeys.
Warren Buffett
My rather puritanical view is that any investment manager, whether operating as broker, investment counselor of a trust department, investment company, etc., should be willing to state unequivocally what he is going to attempt to accomplish and how he proposes to measure the extent to which he gets the job done.
Warren Buffett
I am not in the business of predicting general stock market of business fluctuations. If you think I can do this, or think it is essential to an investment program, you should not be in the partnership.
Warren Buffett
I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. I read and think. So I do more reading and thinking, and make less impulse decisions than most people in business. I do it because I like this kind of life.
Warren Buffett
Don't risk what is important to you, to get what is not important to you.
Warren Buffett
It's good to learn from your mistakes. It's better to learn from other people's mistakes.
Warren Buffett
What we learn from history is that people don't learn from history.
Warren Buffett
That's the reality of what they're going to sell them to the Treasury for.
Warren Buffett
If horses had controlled investment decisions, there would have been no auto industry.
Warren Buffett
