More quotes by Warren Buffett
The typical large company has a compensation committee, They don't look for Dobermans on that committee, they look for chihuahuas.
Warren Buffett
The one piece of advice I can give you is, do what turns you on. Do something that if you had all the money in the world, you’d still be doing it. You’ve got to have a reason to jump out of bed in the morning.
Warren Buffett
Inactivity strikes us as intelligent behavior.
Warren Buffett
The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love. But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.
Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett

Warren Buffett
The reaction of weak management to weak operations is often weak accounting.
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
I learned to go into business only with people whom I like, trust, and admire.
Warren Buffett
I think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can't be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they're not getting some other matter.
Warren Buffett
I mean, Hank Paulson is in there [ Treasury] at the wrong time, probably shouldn't have taken the job. He's a friend of mine. But he knows markets, he knows corporations' work, he knows money, and he's got the interests of the country at heart.
Warren Buffett
I am a better investor because I am a businessman, and a better businessman because I am no investor.
Warren Buffett
I certainly have no desire to sell a good controlled business run by people I like and admire, merely to obtain a fancy price. However, specific conditions may cause the sale of one operating unit at some point.
Warren Buffett
The rest of the world really likes our stuff pretty well. It's just we buy so damn much of what they produce.
Warren Buffett
Never ask a barber if you need a haircut.
