Making money isn't the backbone of our guiding purpose making money is the by-product of our guiding purpose. If you're doing something you love, you're more likely to put your all into it, and that generally equates to making money

More quotes by Warren Buffett
I insist on a lot of time being spent, almost every day, to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business.
Warren Buffett
Interest rates are to asset prices what gravity is to the apple. When there are low interest rates, there is a very low gravitational pull on asset prices.
Warren Buffett
We always live in an uncertain world. What is certain is that the United States will go forward over time.
Warren Buffett
... but the important thing is that when you do find one where you really do know what you are doing, you must buy in quantity.... Charlie and I have made a dozen or so very big decisions relative to net worth, although not as big as they should have been. And in each of those, we've known that we were almost certain to be right going in.
Warren Buffett
The best investment you can make is in yourself.
Warren Buffett
I do not like debt and do not like to invest in companies that have too much debt, particularly long-term debt. With long-term debt, increases in interest rates can drastically affect company profits and make future cash flows less predictable.
Warren Buffett
The latter qualification brings to mind a fellow who applied for a job and stated he had twenty years of experience-which was corrected by a former employer to read one year's experience-twenty times.
Warren Buffett
A pin lies in wait for every bubble and when the two eventually meet, a new wave of investors learns some very old lessons.
Warren Buffett
You don't have to be a genius to invest well
Warren Buffett
When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.
Warren Buffett
If you understood a business perfectly and the future of the business, you need very little in the way of a margin of safety.
Warren Buffett
Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing so wide diversification is only required when investors are ignorant. You only have to do a very few things in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.
Warren Buffett
When I take a look at a company's annual report, if I don't understand it, they don't want me to understand it.
Warren Buffett
Only when you combine sound intellect with emotional discipline do you get rational behavior.
Warren Buffett
The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect. You need a temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd or against the crowd.
Warren Buffett
Confidence is key. You're not going to put your money - you're not going to leave your money with me unless you're confident I'm going to give it back to you.
Warren Buffett
You're neither right nor wrong because other people agree with you. You're right because your facts are right and your reasoning is right - that's the only thing that makes you right. And if your facts and reasoning are right, you don't have to worry about anybody else.
Warren Buffett
Asking for financial advice from a financial planner is like asking a barber if you need a hair cut.
Warren Buffett
The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.
Warren Buffett
Cash never makes us happy, but it's better to have the money burning a hole in Berkshire's pocket than resting comfortably in someone else's.
