More quotes by Warren Buffett
A Company should be viewed as an unfolding movie, not as a still photograph
Warren Buffett
When you combine ignorance and leverage, you get some pretty interesting results.
Warren Buffett
Anyone who believes a growth rate in excess of 15% per annum over the long term is attainable should pursue a career in sales, but avoid one in mathematics.
Warren Buffett
If you own a wonderful business...the best thing to do is keep it. All you're going to do is trade your wonderful business for a whole bunch of cash, which isn't as good as the business, and you got the problem of investing in other businesses, and you probably paid a tax in between. So my advice to anybody who owns a wonderful business is keep it.
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
When it's raining gold, reach for a bucket, not a thimble.
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
The single most important decision in evaluating a business is pricing power.
Warren Buffett
We have provided capital here with a couple of institutions recently. The Federal government did that in the '30s for the RFC and I think there could well be a proper role for government in that.
Warren Buffett
I would say that life at 84, I am having as much fun as I've ever had in my life. I mean I get to do what I love every day with the people I love-and it just doesn't get any better than that.
Warren Buffett
I don't like what's going on with the executive compensation.
Warren Buffett
I've argued with the senators and congressmen I've talked to. You don't want to be too little too late. If you buy them at the right price, you may be buying two trillion of face value.
Warren Buffett
I've never been very fully employed either but just think of what it's like, you know, to go home with a mortgage payment you know and kids and everything else. My dad had that happen to him in the early '30s.
Warren Buffett
Just imagine living on 21,000 a year. I mean you have 20 percent of the population doing that. So you don't have to worry about guys like me.
Warren Buffett
You have to understand accounting and you have to understand the nuances of accounting. It's the language of business and it's an imperfect language, but unless you are willing to put in the effort to learn accounting - how to read and interpret financial statements - you really shouldn't select stocks yourself
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
When we went crazy, and we did go crazy on residential real estate, it set things in motion that just - the dominoes started toppling.
Warren Buffett
If you've got the power to raise prices without losing business to a competitor, you've got a very good business. And if you have to have a prayer session before raising the price by a tenth of a cent, then you've got a terrible business. I've been in both, and I know the difference.
Warren Buffett
It is madness to risk losing what you need in pursuing what you simply desire.
Warren Buffett
I know that Congress will do the right thing.
Warren Buffett
