More quotes by Warren Buffett
The managers at fault periodically report on the lesson they have learned from the latest disappointment. They then usually seek out future lessons.
Warren Buffett
We have learned to turn out lots of goods and services, but we haven't learned as well how to have everybody share in the bounty. The obligation of a society as prosperous as ours is to figure out how nobody gets left too far behind.
Warren Buffett
If you are a professional and have confidence, then I would advocate lots of concentration.
Warren Buffett
You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.
Warren Buffett
It is easier to rationalize than it is to be rational.
Warren Buffett
Continually challenge and be willing to amend your best loved ideas.
Warren Buffett
You don't ever ask a barber whether you need a haircut.
Warren Buffett
I certainly do believe anyone engaged in the management of money should have a standard of measurement, and that both he and the party whose money is managed should have a clear understanding why it is the appropriate standard, what time period should be utilized, etc.
Warren Buffett
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
We make investment decisions based on our evaluation of the most profitable combination of probabilities.
Warren Buffett
The greatest investment a young person can make is in their own education, in their own mind. Because money comes and goes. Relationships come and go. But what you learn once stays with you forever.
Warren Buffett
There is no perfect mathematical formula for pricing a business.
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 view derivatives as time bombs, both for the parties that deal in them and the economic system.
Warren Buffett
A fool and his money are soon invited everywhere.
Warren Buffett
Our future rates of gain will fall far short of those achieved in the past. Berkshire's capital base is now simply too large to allow us to earn truly outsized returns. If you believe otherwise, you should consider a career in sales but avoid one in mathematics.
Warren Buffett
You have no ability, if you're a financial institution and you're threatened with criminal prosecution, you have no ability to negotiate.
Warren Buffett
I will do anything that is basically covered by the law to reduce Berkshire's tax rate. For example, on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That's the only reason to build them. They don't make sense without the tax credit.
Warren Buffett
House prices just soared beyond - beyond reason in many places and they got financed in silly ways, and people lied about loans, all kinds of accesses entered into it. But that is what - that is the single biggest cause of why we're here.
Warren Buffett
We've used up a lot of bullets. And we talk about stimulus. But the truth is, we're running a federal deficit that's 9 percent of GDP. That is stimulative as all get out. It's more stimulative than any policy we've followed since World War II.
