More quotes by Warren Buffett
In the world of business, the people who are most successful are those who are doing what they love.
Warren Buffett
In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.
Warren Buffett
In a bull market, one must avoid the error of the preening duck that quacks boastfully after a torrential rainstorm, thinking that its paddling skills have caused it to rise in the world. A right-thinking duck would instead compare its position after the downpour to that of the other ducks on the pond.
Warren Buffett
When we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever.
Warren Buffett
The power of unconditional love. I mean, there is no power on earth like unconditional love.
Warren Buffett
One of the ironies of the stock market is the emphasis on activity. Brokers, using terms such as 'marketability' and 'liquidity,' sing the praises of companies with high share turnover... but investors should understand that what is good for the croupier is not good for the customer. A hyperactive stock market is the pick pocket of enterprise.
Warren Buffett
I'm sitting with six and a half billion dollars we're going to use to close the Mars-Wrigley deal on October 6. I've got to hand over that six and a half billion on October 6. Now, I have to be very careful about who I leave it in between now and then, because they're expecting that he show up.
Warren Buffett
When people talk about cash being king, it's not king if it just sits there and never does anything.
Warren Buffett
We've actually been pretty good on exports. I mean we are exporting 12% of our GDP now roughly.
Warren Buffett
If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.
Warren Buffett
A low-cost index fund is the most sensible equity investment for the great majority of investors. My mentor, Ben Graham, took this position many years ago, and everything I have seen since convinces me of its truth.
Warren Buffett
In fact, in my adult lifetime, I don't think I've ever seen people as fearful economically as they are right now.
Warren Buffett
Investing is simple, but not easy.
Warren Buffett
Be brave when others are afraid, and afraid when others are brave.
Warren Buffett
Occasionally, a man must rise above principles.
Warren Buffett
Observing that the market was FREQUENTLY efficient, EMT Adherents went on to conclude incorrectly that it was ALWAYS efficient. The difference between these propositions is night and day.
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
The only question is whether you’re going to do it today or tomorrow. If you keep saying you’re going to do it tomorrow, you’ll never do it. You have to get on it today.
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
If you gave me the choice of being CEO of General Electric or IBM or General Motors, you name it, or delivering papers, I would deliver papers. I would. I enjoyed doing that. I can think about what I want to think. I don't have to do anything I don't want to do.
