Warren Buffett
We like to buy businesses, but we don't like to sell them.
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
There are certain things that cannot be adequately explained to a virgin either by words or pictures.
Warren Buffett
Basically, the single-most important decision in evaluating a business is pricing power.
Warren Buffett
Is management rational?
Warren Buffett
With a wonderful business, you can figure out what will happen you can't figure out when it will happen. You don't want to focus on when, you want to focus on what. If you're right about what, you don't have to worry about when
Warren Buffett
You know, with your money and my brains, I mean, there's no telling how far we'd go.
Warren Buffett
The good thing is, we have household formation in this country.
Warren Buffett
Either they're trying to con you or they're trying to con themselves.
Warren Buffett
