More quotes by Warren Buffett
If you've got the power to raise prices without losing business to a competitor, you've got a very good business. And if you have to have a prayer session before raising the price by a tenth of a cent, then you've got a terrible business. I've been in both, and I know the difference.
Warren Buffett
The less prudence with which others conduct their affairs, the greater the prudence with which we should conduct our own affairs.
Warren Buffett
A prediction about the direction of the stock market tells you nothing about where stocks are headed, but a whole lot about the person doing the predicting.

It's a lot easier to buy things than it is to sell them.
Warren Buffett
We would do best in a market where everyone acted foolishly.
Warren Buffett
If we have a strength, it is in recognizing when we are operating well within our circle of competence and when we are approaching the perimeter.
Warren Buffett
Buy a cross section of American industry, and if a cross section of American industry doesn't work, certainly trying to pick the little beauties here and there isn't going to work either.
Warren Buffett
You have hedge funds and people like that buying these assets to yield 15 or 20 percent, I mean, that's the buyer for these people that are trying to unload them.
Warren Buffett
If book knowledge made great investors, than the librarians would all be rich.
Warren Buffett
We have provided capital here with a couple of institutions recently. The Federal government did that in the '30s for the RFC and I think there could well be a proper role for government in that.
Warren Buffett
I asked him what he wanted to do for his career, and he replied that he wanted to go into a particular field, but thought he should work for McKinsey for a few years first to add to his resume. To me that's like saving sex for your old age. It makes no sense.
Warren Buffett
