An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure understated.
Warren Buffett

I always say that in investing you want to buy stock in a company that has a business that's so good that an idiot can run it, because sooner or later one will. We have a country like that.
Warren Buffett

We've had public companies in the past in that business and they bleed. We've got a lot more blood than they do.

It's nice to have a lot of money, but you know, you don't want to keep it around forever. I prefer buying things. Otherwise, it's a little like saving sex for your old age.
Warren Buffett

I don't measure my life by the money I've made. Other people might, but certainly don't.

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.

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

I don't want to be on the other side of the table from the customer. I was never selling anything that I didn't believe in myself or use myself.
Warren Buffett
Image
In my opinion, the entire field of investment management, involving hundreds of billions of dollars, would be more satisfactorily conducted if everyone had a good yardstick for measurement of ability and sensibly applied it.
Warren Buffett
Image
I'm always interested in understanding the math of things and understanding as much as I can about all aspects of business. And what I learn today may be useful to me two years from now. That's really the wonderful thing about investments is your knowledge is cumulative.

In a commodity business, it's very hard to be smarter than your dumbest competitor.
Warren Buffett
Image
It is better to point out your own mistakes than have somebody else do it.
Warren Buffett
Image
The American economy is going to do fine. But it won't do fine every year and every week and every month. I mean, if you don't believe that, forget about buying stocks anyway... It's a positive-sum game, long term. And the only way an investor can get killed is by high fees or by trying to outsmart the market.
