You know, people talk about this being an uncertain time. You know, all time is uncertain. I mean, it was uncertain back in - in 2007, we just didn't know it was uncertain. It was - uncertain on September 10th, 2001. It was uncertain on October 18th, 1987, you just didn't know it.

Warren Buffett
Exercise humility and restraint.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
Money will not change how healthy you are or how many people love you.
Warren Buffett
I'll tell you why I like the cigarette business. It cost a penny to make. Sell it for a dollar. It's addictive. And there's a fantastic brand loyalty.
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
For some reason, people take their cues from price action rather than from values. What doesn't work is when you start doing things that you don't understand or because they worked last week for somebody else. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it's going up.
Warren Buffett
When it's raining gold, reach for a bucket, not a thimble.
Warren Buffett
You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.
Warren Buffett
In other words, the percentage change in book value in any given year is likely to be reasonably close to that year's change in intrinsic value.
Warren Buffett
Nevertheless, as circumstances presently appear, I feel substantially greater size is more likely to harm future results than to help them. This might not be true for my own personal results, but it is likely to be true for your results.
Warren Buffett
