More quotes by Warren Buffett
I think people - what people want to do is make [economy] get worse.
Warren Buffett
A great investment opportunity occurs when a marvelous business encounters a one-time huge, but solvable problem.
Warren Buffett
My net worth is the market value of holdings less the tax payable upon sale. The liability is just as real as the asset unless the value of the asset declines (ouch), the asset is given away (no comment), or I die with it. The latter course of action would appear to at least border on a Pyrrhic victory.
Warren Buffett
Occasionally, a man must rise above principles.
Warren Buffett
Wall Street makes its money on activity. You make your money on inactivity.

Warren Buffett
Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner.
Warren Buffett
You know ... you keep doing the same things and you keep getting the same result over and over again.
Warren Buffett
Forecasts may tell you a great deal about the forecaster they tell you nothing about the future.
Warren Buffett
The purpose of life is to be loved by as many people as possible among those you want to have love you
Warren Buffett
My favorite time frame for holding a stock is forever.
Warren Buffett
Mr. Market is kind of a drunken psycho. Some days he gets very enthused, some days he gets very depressed. And when he get really enthused you sell to him, and if he gets depressed, you buy from him. There's no moral taint attached to that.
Warren Buffett
We will only do with your money what we would do with our own.
Warren Buffett
No formula in finance tells you that the moat is 28 feet wide and 16 feet deep. That's what drives the academics crazy. They can compute standard deviations and betas, but they can't understand moats.
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
