Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
We try to buy businesses with good-to-superb underlying economics run by honest and able people and buy them at sensible prices. That's all I'm trying to do.
Warren Buffett
In the world of business, the people who are most successful are those who are doing what they love.
Warren Buffett
