More quotes by Warren Buffett
I look for businesses in which I think I can predict what they're going to look like in ten to fifteen years time. Take Wrigley's chewing gum. I don't think the internet is going to change how people chew gum.

Warren Buffett
The time to buy stocks is consistently over time. You should never buy your investments with the idea, 'I have to get a certain return.' You should look at the best return possible and learn to live with that. But you should not try to make your investments earn what you feel you need. It doesn't work that way. The stock doesn't know you own it.

Warren Buffett
You’ve gotta keep control of your time, and you can’t unless you say no. You can’t let people set your agenda in life.
Warren Buffett
I think any time you couple the term Wall Street with bailout or something like that, you know - I don't like what's going on in Wall Street.
Warren Buffett
Mr. Market is your servant, not your guide.
Warren Buffett
If the reason for doing something is that everyone else is doing it, it's not a good enough reason.
Warren Buffett
If you can tell me who your heroes are, I can tell you how you're going to turn out in life.
Warren Buffett
I'm putting all my money in the Chinese toy market.
Warren Buffett
The real fortunes in this country have been made by people who have been right about the business they invested in, and not right about the timing of the stock market.
