More quotes by Warren Buffett
Buy a business, don't rent stocks.
Warren Buffett
Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.
Warren Buffett
The dominant factors affecting control valuations are earning power (past and prospective) and asset values.
Warren Buffett
A low-cost index fund is the most sensible equity investment for the great majority of investors. My mentor, Ben Graham, took this position many years ago, and everything I have seen since convinces me of its truth.
Warren Buffett
What we really want to do is buy businesses that we would be happy to own forever.
Warren Buffett
It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.
Warren Buffett
Investing in yourself is the best thing you can do. If you've got talents, no one can take them from you.
Warren Buffett
Asset-heavy businesses generally earn low rates of return - rates that often barely provide enough capital to fund the inflationary needs of the existing business, with nothing left over for real growth, for distribution to owners, or for acquisition of new businesses
Warren Buffett
You pay a very high price in the stock market for a cheery consensus.
Warren Buffett
Enjoy your work and work for whom you admire.
Warren Buffett
If you cannot control your emotions, you cannot control your money.
Warren Buffett
We don't have to be smarter than the rest. We have to be more disciplined than the rest.
Warren Buffett
The key to life is to figure out who to be the batboy for.
Warren Buffett
Focus on return on equity, not earnings per share.
Warren Buffett
That which is not worth doing at all is not worth doing well.
Warren Buffett
Uncertainty is the friend of the buyer of long term values.
Warren Buffett
I think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can't be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they're not getting some other matter.
Warren Buffett
Writing checks to the IRS that include strings of zeros does not bother me ... Overall, we feel extraordinarily lucky to have been dealt a hand in life that enables us to write large checks to the government rather than one requiring the government to regularly write checks to us-say, because we are disabled or unemployed.
Warren Buffett
There are all kinds of businesses that Charlie and I don't understand, but that doesn't cause us to stay up at night. It just means we go on to the next one, and that's what the individual investor should do.
Warren Buffett
Basically, the single-most important decision in evaluating a business is pricing power.
Warren Buffett
