When they get their ego involved, people do things they shouldn't do.
Warren Buffett
I think that actually people in my situation should be paying more tax.
Warren Buffett
Banking is very good business if you don't do anything dumb.
Warren Buffett
You should be unconcerned about short-term price action when you own the securities directly, just as you were unconcerned when you owned them indirectly through BPL. I think about them as businesses, not stocks, and if the business does all right over the long term, so will the stock.
Warren Buffett
Things you like to do should be a hobby of yours, but things the world does should be a business of yours.
Warren Buffett
What an investor needs is the ability to correctly evaluate selected businesses. Note that word “selected”: You don't have to be an expert on every company, or even many. You only have to be able to evaluate companies within your circle of competence. The size of that circle is not very important knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.
Warren Buffett
When you combine ignorance and leverage, you get some pretty interesting results.

Warren Buffett
Of one thing be certain: if a CEO is enthused about a particularly foolish acquisition, both his internal staff and his outside advisors will come up with whatever projections are needed to justify his stance. Only in fairy tales are emperors told that they are naked.
Warren Buffett
We still find very few [stocks] that even mildly interest us. That dismal fact is testimony to the insanity of valuations reached during The Great Bubble. Unfortunately, the hangover may prove to be proportional to the binge.
Warren Buffett
Benign neglect, bordering on sloth, remains the hallmark of our investment process.
Warren Buffett
Many stock options in the corporate world have worked in exactly that fashion: they have gained in value simply because management retained earnings, not because it did well with the capital in its hands.
Warren Buffett
Fear is the foe of the faddist, but the friend of the fundamentalist.
Warren Buffett
Cash combined with courage in a time of crisis is priceless.
Warren Buffett
Fund consultants like to require style boxes such as long-short, macro, international equities. At Berkshire our only style box is smart.
Warren Buffett
I do know that when I am 60, I should be attempting to achieve different personal goals than those which had priority at age 20.
Warren Buffett
It's good to learn from your mistakes. It's better to learn from other people's mistakes.
Warren Buffett
I mean there is no capital requirements to it or anything of the sort. And basically, I said there were possibly financial weapons of mass destruction, and they had them. They destroyed AIG. They certainly contributed to the destruction of Bear Sterns and Lehman. Although Lehman had other problems, too.
Warren Buffett
Like I say, I don't think it'll be done perfectly. Maybe we'll end up with a little bit better [economy] system.
Warren Buffett
