The future is never clear you pay a very high price in the stock market for a cheery consensus. Uncertainty actually is the friend of the buyer of long-term values.

More quotes by Warren Buffett
When we really sit back with a smile on our face is when we run into a situation we can understand, where the facts are ascertainable and clear, and the course of action obvious.
Warren Buffett
Does management resist the institutional imperative?
Warren Buffett
In some corner of the world they are probably still holding regular meetings of the Flat Earth Society. We derive no comfort because important people, vocal people, or great numbers of people agree with us. Nor do we derive comfort if they don't.
Warren Buffett
The fundamental basis of above-average performance in the long run is sustainable competitive advantage.
Warren Buffett
If you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don't care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.
Warren Buffett
They say the chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken. The chains you put around yourself now have enormous consequences as you go through life.
Warren Buffett
I never invest in anything that I don't understand.
Warren Buffett
Whatever you like to do, make it a hobby and whatever the world likes to do, make it a business.
Warren Buffett
The range of derivatives contracts is limited only by the imagination of man (or sometimes, so it seems, madmen). Say you want to write a contract speculating on the number of twins to be born in Nebraska in 2020. No problem-at a price, you will easily find an obliging counterparty.
Warren Buffett
You know, with your money and my brains, I mean, there's no telling how far we'd go.
Warren Buffett
The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love. But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.
Warren Buffett
The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth.
Warren Buffett
Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner.
Warren Buffett
The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.
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
An IPO is like a negotiated transaction - the seller chooses when to come public - and it's unlikely to be a time that's favourable to you.
Warren Buffett
Do not take yearly results too seriously. Instead, focus on four or five-year averages.
Warren Buffett
Our policy is to concentrate holdings. We try to avoid buying a little of this or that when we are only lukewarm about the business or its price. When we are convinced as to attractiveness, we believe in buying worthwhile amounts.
Warren Buffett
I'm not worried they're all about the investments we make. I mean, listen, this country - we've got $46,000 or $47,000 of GDP per capita. Now, we've done pretty darn well. We'll do better in the future.
Warren Buffett
People always should know better. People don't get - they don't get smarter about things that get as basic as greed.
Warren Buffett
