More quotes by Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
Much success can be attributed to inactivity. Most investors cannot resist the temptation to constantly buy and sell.
Warren Buffett
Like most trends, at the beginning it's driven by fundamentals, at some point speculation takes over. What the wise man does in the beginning, the fool does in the end.
Warren Buffett
I mean, you may be very mad at some guy that walked away with a huge golden parachute, but that really isn't the important thing.
Warren Buffett
Invest in as much of yourself as you can, you are your own biggest asset by far.
Warren Buffett
There's nothing inappropriate about having debt in America. It's what helped us grow over time. And it's when debt gets out of control that you worry.
Warren Buffett
