If you've got a good enough business, if you have a monopoly newspaper, if you have a network television station - I'm talking of the past - you know, your idiot nephew could run it. And if you've got a really good business, it doesn't make any difference.

An investor needs to do very few things right as long as he or she avoids big mistakes.
Warren Buffett
Image
Truly conservative actions arise from intelligent hypotheses, correct facts and sound reasoning.

It is easier to rationalize than it is to be rational.
Warren Buffett
Image
Success in investing doesn’t correlate with I.Q. Once you are above the level of 25 once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing.
Warren Buffett
Image
Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can't buy what is popular and do well.

Intensity is the price of excellence.
