The greatest investment a young person can make is in their own education, in their own mind. Because money comes and goes. Relationships come and go. But what you learn once stays with you forever.

More quotes by Warren Buffett
Invest in as much of yourself as you can, you are your own biggest asset by far.
Warren Buffett
I think you should read everything you can. In my case, by the age of 10, I'd read every book in the Omaha public library about investing, some twice. You need to fill your mind with various competing thoughts and decide which make sense.
Warren Buffett
The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.
Warren Buffett
When I take a look at a company's annual report, if I don't understand it, they don't want me to understand it.
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
I would say that an RFC-like thing might make sense. I probably would do it myself. But I don't think trying to combine that with what's going through now, I think what is needed now is liquidity.
Warren Buffett
Resolution Trust Company was set up to liquidate a bunch of assets that the government had inherited because the savings and loans went broke.
Warren Buffett
In my opinion, the entire field of investment management, involving hundreds of billions of dollars, would be more satisfactorily conducted if everyone had a good yardstick for measurement of ability and sensibly applied it.
Warren Buffett
Over the years, Charlie [Munger, Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman] and I have observed many accounting-based frauds of staggering size. Few of the perpetrators have been punished many have not even been censured. It has been far safer to steal large sums with pen than small sums with a gun.
Warren Buffett
I'm happy when I can spend every day doing the things that I like to do. That's my luxury.
Warren Buffett
It's got to be the best intellectual exercise out there. You're seeing through new situations every ten minutes. In the stock market you don't base your decisions on what the market is doing, but on what you think is rational. Bridge is about weighing gain/loss ratios. You're doing calculations all the time.
Warren Buffett
Enjoy your work and work for whom you admire.
Warren Buffett
The one piece of advice I can give you is, do what turns you on. Do something that if you had all the money in the world, you’d still be doing it. You’ve got to have a reason to jump out of bed in the morning.
Warren Buffett
If I got a chance to take one percent of the deal either way, I would make that bet.
Warren Buffett
We've seen what can be accomplished when we use 50% of our human capacity. If you visualize what 100% can do, you'll join me as an unbridled optimist about America's future.
Warren Buffett
Investing is the greatest business in the world because you never have to swing. You stand at the plate the pitcher throws you General Motors at 47! U.S. Steel at 39! And nobody calls a strike on you. There's no penalty except opportunity. All day you wait for the pitch you like then, when the fielders are asleep, you step up and hit it.
Warren Buffett
I know what I want to do and it makes sense to get going.
Warren Buffett
Managers and investors alike must understand that accounting numbers are the beginning, not the end, of business valuation.
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
I would push purchasing power - you push out $1,000 of purchasing to those people, it's going to get - it's going to get spent. And it needs to be spent. They need it. And it should come, to some extent, from guys like me.
Warren Buffett
