During inflation, Goodwill is the gift that keeps on giving.
Warren Buffett
I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don't like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn't that a little like saving up sex for your old age?
Warren Buffett
OUR leaders have asked for “shared sacrifice.” But when they did the asking, they spared me. I checked with my mega-rich friends to learn what pain they were expecting. They, too, were left untouched.
Warren Buffett
We do not have, nor have had, and never will have an opinion about where the stock market, interest rates, or business activity will be a year from now.
Warren Buffett
There is nothing like writing to force you to think and get your thoughts straight.
Warren Buffett
It’s not that I want money. It’s the fun of making money and watching it grow.
Warren Buffett
My idea of a group decision is to look in the mirror.
Warren Buffett

Managers thinking about accounting issues should never forget one of Abraham Lincoln's favorite riddles: How many legs does a dog have, if you call a tail a leg? The answer: Four, because calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
Warren Buffett
I'm the luckiest guy in the world in terms of what I do for a living. No one can tell me to do things I don't believe in or things I think are stupid.
Warren Buffett
In other words, the percentage change in book value in any given year is likely to be reasonably close to that year's change in intrinsic value.
Warren Buffett
The banking business is no favorite of ours. When assets are twenty times equity - a common ratio in this industry - mistakes that involve only a small portion of assets can destroy a major portion of equity. And mistakes have been the rule rather than the exception at many major banks.
Warren Buffett
... not doing what we love in the name of greed is very poor management of our lives.
Warren Buffett
Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.
Warren Buffett
We need to throw the resources at this that are necessary. But like I say, we are not spending money. I mean, if we buy these assets intelligently, the United States Treasury will make money. I mean, it's borrowing money. It's just a few percent a year.
Warren Buffett
The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.
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
It's much easier to stay out of trouble now than to get out of trouble later.
Warren Buffett
I like to buy things I can understand. I do a lot of research on things.
Warren Buffett
Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy. Take advantage of compound interest and don't be captivated by the siren song of the market.
Warren Buffett
